I've had to work and go to school since I've been old enough to work. Got my first job as a junior in high school and have been juggling a full-time job and school ever since. So at this point in my life, I'm truly tired of doing both!! If I could give up one, sadly it would be school. But I want to be successful, baby! That means no matter how long it takes, or how fed up I get, giving up is not an option. I have a family to provide for now. I want kids someday and I want to be able to give them the world and the best way for me to do that is to keep on pushing. I would be the first male in my family to graduate college, and after all that I've been through I don't want my kids to have to go through the same thing. The best advice I ever heard about school came from an assistant basketball coach at Baylor. Coach Driscoll came to my job one day and asked me if I ever thought about trying out for basketball. I told him, "I have but that's not realistic right now. I have to work and at this rate it'll take me 8 years to graduate." He looked at me and said, " College is not a race, it's a destination. No matter how long it takes you to finish, just finish."
I think I'm finally ready to finish.
