THIS IS MY STORY

    Hi! I am currently a Senior at Stella & Charles Guttman Community College. Currently, I am majoring in Liberal arts & science- Math and science track, but I would like to graduate and transfer to a senior college in order to pursue a bachelor's degree and Major in Marine biology. 

     Growing up in a poor, unhealthy family, I was constantly told that I wouldn't achieve anything, being told I would "amount to nothing like the rest of them"; And yet I can sit here today and be proud that I have made it to where I am now. With a mother in the military and a father who wants nothing to do with me, I was left with a court-appointed godfather. Growing up I've constantly felt alone and was mistreated by my peers and even myself at times.

    In my first year of high school, I developed seizures. This left me with not only the struggle with life and school itself but also the struggle with accepting and supporting who I am. This made my high school experience a lot more difficult. Then again, it also allowed me to overcome a lot more, and become a stronger person inside & out.
