My name is Ashanta L. Williams- Hoffman and I'm from a city called New Orleans, Louisiana. Here is a very good and also a very bad city to grow up in. It's very hard sometimes to stay focus with education when your peers present to u all the wrong things. I have been locked up all my juvenile life, didn't wanna go to school, smoking and drinking, and all the above. One day I woke up and said u know what I don't want this life I want something better. I got my high school diploma and went straight to college. Of course me doing that I lost a lot of friends because they thought education was stupid. Now I'm about to be graduating class of 2016 majoring Clinical Medical Assistant. Education is important and if I can do it anyone can. It will all be good in the end. Knowledge is power....
