Intro: Have you ever wanted to do something but kept pushing it back because you were uncertain about what it is that you wanted to do? I realized I would never accomplish what I want in life if I don’t start. Going back to school isn’t just for me. It’s a goal that I have for myself and my daughter. I want to overcome the just enough lifestyle. I want to prove that I can achieve the goals that I have set for myself. The steps that I am taking are very personal. I am determined to be the best version of myself. I want to set a foundation for my daughter where she can benefit from my accomplishments.

Closing:

Choosing to go back to school is a self-determination journey. This is me, believing in myself and proving that I am capable of earning a degree. I am walking in faith and purpose. I am going after the life that I desire and deserve. I will not let anything stop me. I have put my goals off long enough. I know the road may not be easy, and there may be challenges ahead, but I will continue to push forward. Its never too late to chase after your dreams. Trust your timing and stay obedient to the nudge!
