Well, here I am, another term at Kaplan University. Sometimes it gets frustrating and discouraging, but still I push on. I have to, this is hardly the biggest challenge I have faced. My life has been full of great challenges, and even when young, I have always overcome. My biggest challenge came four years ago when my husband and brother in law were murdered, and in an instant I became a single mom of 3. It took time for me to come out of the depression and realize I had to keep moving for the sake of my children. 3 years after his death, I decided I wanted something better and decided to show my children you are never too old to go after your dreams, and I enrolled in Kaplan University. Though the challenges of going back to school have been great, I have been on Dean's List and have become a student of the Honors program. I have hit many challenges along the way, including almost having to withdraw or request a leave of absence last term when new developments arose in our murder case. Yet, I have pressed on and am now in my fourth term and I am maintaining my GPA to reamain an Honors student. I feel great reasons to be proud of myself.
