Because of this, when I was still in HS I was usually working anywhere from 2-3 jobs, which means I wasn't the best student. I wanted to be but it can be hard to do math HW when you are trying to figure out rent, bills, and grocery money.
 That being said, I did graduate and eventually I went to TCC and later ODU. Sometimes I would take 1 class, sometimes I could afford full time. And so many times, I wanted to give up.
But I didn't.
I graduated college at 25 and to this day, other than my children, nothing means more to me than my degree because I earned it and no one can take my education from me.]]> 2021-02-11 13:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amandasteadele/2fh5dy5vs4dv00mh/wish/1192086212
