I GRADUATED, CONGRATS CLASS OF 2015!!! PICTURES BELOW!!

THERE'S NO GREATER FEELING THAN SETTING GOALS AND ACCOMPLISHING THEM! AS I TOLD YOU ALL ON THE SHOW, THIS SEMESTER HAS BEEN A BITTERSWEET ONE! I MET SOME AWESOME PEOPLE OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, INCLUDING MY PROFESSOR WHO WAS AMAZING! EARNING MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE IS JUST THE FIRST STEP TO REACHING MY GOALS. I CREATED A 1 YEAR PLAN TO GET MY DEGREE, HAS A CERTAIN GPA, AND ATTEND TOWSON UNIVERSITY IN THE FALL! I WAS ABLE TO SET GOALS FOR MYSELF, AND ACCOMPLISH THEM! I'VE SAID IT COUNTLESS TIMES ON MY RADIO SHOW, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE BROKEN DOWN TO BUILD YOURSELF UP AGAIN! 

TESTIFY TIME!! I WENT FROM FAILING OUT OF SCHOOL, BEING ON ACADEMIC PROBATION, WANTING TO QUIT, NOT DRIVEN, AND FEELING LIKE A FAILURE! I WASN'T MYSELF A COUPLE YEARS AGO, AND I REALLY HAD TO LOOK WITHIN MYSELF TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I ALSO TURNED TO GOD AND PRAYED TO GET PAST THE MULTIPLE OBSTACLES I WAS FACING. I WAS MY OWN ENEMY, SO I NEEDED SOME MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALING. IT TOOK SOME TIME, MUCH GROWING TO DO, BUT I STARTED PROGRESSING MORE AND MORE. ONCE I FOCUSED ON THE POSITIVE RATHER THAN THE NEGATIVE, EVERYTHING BEGAN FALL IN PLACE! NOW I HAVE MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE, BUT I'M NOT STOPPING THERE! THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP TO MY ULTIMATE GOAL! THIS IS ALSO THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN ACHIEVING MY ULTIMATE GOAL! IF IT WEREN'T FOR BEING BROKEN DOWN AND BUILDING MYSELF BACK UP, I WOULDN'T BE AS CONFIDENT, FOCUSED OR DETERMINED AS I AM NOW! LIFE IS ABOUT GROWING AFTER ALL, AND I STILL HAVE MORE TO DO! I'M SO APPRECIATIVE FOR THE SUPPORT OF MY LOVED ONES! THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR ME THROUGH EVERYTHING, AND I DEFINITELY WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT THEM! 

REMEMBER, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO!
