Many days and nights felt bleak, and I didn't know that I would have the drive to make it to the end. To many, it is not a big deal, but to me it is.
I did not have the best grades in middle and high school because I never put all my effort in my work. That definitely changed once I found direction and interest in school, and I finished my undergrad work at San Jose State in the projected two years! I thought it would take me a little longer than the expected time.. and it did at community college (but really, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get out in two years, especially from De Anza and Foothill).
Since I only took classes I was interested in (some were not as great as others obviously), I really excelled and put my all in my work. Of course I had to sacrifice a lot of other things, such as personal relationships, my sanity, etc., but it's worth it.
There is nothing more valuable than the education that I have received. I am blessed. If you have been contemplating about school, just persevere, it'll all be worth it in the end.

Let's see, what's next? Oh yeah, graduation!
Bye for now,
