Five Years Later

Can it really be five years since 9-11? More attacks seemed certain and the future was dim. I entered college (at 25) and now I am 3 semesters away from graduating with 2 bachelors degrees. One in political science and one in Public Relations. I am seriously contemplating law school (we'll see how I do on my LSAT's) , oh yeah I also received an A.A in liberal arts. Not bad for a high school dropout (tamest part of my past) who never planned on going to college. But this is about 9-11. That day certianly focused me and impcacted me as nothing before had. I will forever be a better person for the horror of that day. I really decided to change my future and do something positive. It is not much but that is my way of giving back to those who had everything taken from them. I will never forget!

You deserve a pat on the back for turning your life around. It is nice to hear that this is still possible. Keep up the good work!!

We need more people in the world that have the desire to turn their lives around. How do we as a society get kids to buy into the fact that education can and will change their lives? You can be assured I believe it took a lot of inner strengh and courage for you to make life changing decisions.
1000 congratulations to you!!
