With struggle, comes great success. I recently graduated from college with my Bachelors Degree.
Yass a Bihh did it! It was definitely a journey. From changing my major three times and daily life struggles. These were all circumstances I kept away from social media but shared with some. At times, I took less classes and you could clearly tell when I was in a bad space in life by the looks of some of my grades. Sheesh (Listen, to me a C is bad). But as I watch the video of myself walking across the stage and hugging my degree, the feeling was like no other.
To some it’s just a simple video, but to me it’s an accumulation of all the tears I’ve shed during my tenure as a student. The times I went broke to pay out of pocket for my classes. Yes. FAFSA wasn’t paying it for me. I began ChittyChatBang while in school. It was hard keeping up with cupcake orders, but nothing could stop me. I went to class many times with raccoon eyes from sleepless nights. Even times when I still had to go to class after a bad argument with either friends, boyfriend or coworkers. Working 11pm-9am and straight to class by 10am. Juggling two jobs, rent, and trying to have a life. Even the memory of still turning papers in even though I was fired from my job. That was one of the most difficult times of my life. I wanted to quit and give up many times. But, what kept me going? Simple. My grandmother and reaching for my dreams. My grandmother and I share a name, Stella. I have an obligation to keep her name in lights. A lot of people, and circumstances could have broken me but still, I persevered. Remember to always look for the positive in any situation. I always kept pushing even when my emotions, people around me, and all my daily struggles would tell me no.
Thank you boo! I appreciate the love and well wishes. x.o.xo
Determination always will make the difference. Congrats boo on all your future successes as well! You are capable of achieving it all!
