Life Before To Life Now
As I continue to reevaluate my life and all that I had dreamed and hoped for myself when I reach my mid thirties, I did not think I would be still in school trying to get an education. Reflecting back on my past experiences and decisions I made I would have done a lot of things different. Life seems to bring about maturity, perseverance and determination in people and I believe at this point in my life I am determined to succeed because I have been battling a college degree on and off for the past 15years. Pretty sad to admit but reality has finally set in and I have decided that enough is enough. If I want to achieve my dreams and goals in life I have got to buckle down strap in the seatbelt and make it happen. My paper will discuss my life from where I started to where I am today using a number of theories discussed in our lesson. I grew up in a very Christian home and my mother and father was always busy taking care of things in the church. My father was military and we traveled the first couple years of my life that I can remember until my father decided to request his assignment back home in Montgomery Alabama and become part time active duty in the Army. I was very excited about this because I was tired of meeting new people and going to different schools every few years. I was always considered the baby girl in the family because my parents only had two children. My brother is two years older than I am so he was always there to look after me and make me feel like his little sister. My parents both worked outside the home but I could remember always spending time with mother because she was there to take us to all the practices and games that we were involved in. Daddy was only available to make the games on Saturdays because he worked so long and hard during the week we did not see him
