I went to three different high schools; Grandview Sr. High School for 9th and 10th grade; Blue Springs South High School for the first semester of junior year and the first quarter of the second semester; then Blue Springs High School for my junior year (mainly online) and started and finished my senior year (also mainly online).

In reality, I was supposed to be graduating from Grandview Sr. High, but sadly my mom passed away in March of 2019, during my sophomore year. After that, I decided I couldn't stay in Grandview anymore and wanted to move back to Blue Springs where the rest of my family lived. Moving back was a big decision, but I know that my mom is proud of the strong woman that I have become over the past 4 years.

After being accepted to a few different schools, I decided that my future home would be Rockhurst University...GO HAWKS! During my freshman year, I meet a ton of new people that I now call friends and even consider them as part of my family. Over that one school year, I was a part of at least eight different organizations, I was always busy! Within these organizations, I created amazing lifelong friendships! At this time I was focused on getting my degree in Elementry Education.

After my freshman year, I decided that I wanted a change and that transferring schools would be best for me. So I applied to multiple schools and finally decided on continuing my education at the University of Arkansas...WOO PIG! It wasn't easy, but in the end, it was worth it! While I had many hardships thrown my way when I first transferred, I always had my best friends from Rockhurst and family back home supporting me all the way. Without that support system, I wouldn't be the person that I am today, and I wouldn't be as strong and independent as I am today.

Now, I am 20 years old and just doing the best that I can. I wish my mom was here to see me in person and see everything that I have achieved, but I know she is always watching over me. I won't lie, there are days when I just want to give up, but I know that in the end, it would be all worth it. After many downfalls, I decided to change my major from Elementary Education to English Education. It was a pretty big change, but I know with all my hard work, I will come out on top!
