I graduated form the University of New Orleans on Friday, May 16th with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology (Liberal Arts) and a minor in Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Administration 'BKA' HRT. My last term (Spring/2008) was a beast! I managed to pull off a "A" in International Tourism, a "C" in Social Change, a "B" in Intermediate Spanish I, and a "B" in Sociological Theory! I am so proud of myself. I endured and never gave up no matter how frustrated I was. I was so determined to graduate from College--not to make others proud of me, I did it for me and ME alone! I strive every day to be a better person, to get better educated. No one forced me to go to school, I CHOSE to go because I wanted a better life for myself. I did not want an underpaying job, I wanted a job that suites my needs and my lifestyle. I did NOT want to surrender just because it got tough. There were MANY times I wanted to give up and I never did. No matter if it was rain, a hurricane, or whatever....I was at school unless it was cancelled and I did it ALL on the BUS! For over 4 years, I went to school on a bus waking up at 5 AM to be to school for an 8AM class-I call that determination and now that I have graduated, I can proudly say that I have earned the car that I have now which is a 2000 Lincoln Luxury Sedan!
