Driven by a "go big or go home" mentality, I am a 31-year-old mother of five incredible girls who inspire me every day. My partner and I have been together for 12 wonderful years, and he has always been my greatest support system, encouraging me to chase my dreams even when the path seemed uncertain. Returning to school to pursue a degree I've dreamed of since childhood has been a transformative and significant step, not just for myself, but for my family of seven as well. Its a testament to the belief that no matter your age, circumstances, or the challenges you face, its never too late to achieve your goals. This journey has been about more than just academics; its been about setting an example for my daughtersshowing them that determination, hard work, and resilience can lead to incredible accomplishments. Anything is possible if you stay positive, focus on the future, and remain steadfast in your commitment to your career goals. Being accepted at Southern New Hampshire University was a pivotal moment for me. It boosted my confidence and allowed me to prove to myself that this isnt just any collegeits a university that truly supports its students. During my first term, I was filled with nervous excitement and faced my fair share of challenges. Balancing coursework with being a full-time mother was daunting, but I refused to let the initial struggles deter me. Instead, I reminded myself that its okay to stumble at the beginning, as long as you keep pushing forward. I committed to improving every single day, and my efforts paid off. I raised my GPA and have proudly maintained it throughout my academic journey. This achievement has been a source of immense pride, not only for me but for my family, who have cheered me on every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate my growth and achievements. Southern New Hampshire University has given me more than just an educationit has given me the confidence to believe in myself and the tools to build a brighter future for my family. Thank you, Southern New Hampshire University, for being such an important part of my journey! Lets do this GO BIG OR GO HOME!!! Let's Gooooo!
