Defining Moments
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I received a scholarship for most of my undergraduate education but had to get a job to supplement what financial aid wouldn't cover. I worked full time and went to school full time and didn't have a lot of extra but it paid off in the end.
I have ADD but wasn't diagnosed until I was an adult. College was VERY difficult for me and with my focus issues, my grades weren't the best. I continued to work hard and stumbled along the way but in spite of that managed to be very successful.
