" . . . I wish I would have listened ! "

That was the first statement I made when, on August 22, 2011 I was helplessly located somewhere in Saint Louis after completing my first year of college. . .

UNENROLLED !

It's amazing what you can remember being taught and advised AFTER the explosion. All at once, I watched as my dreams, goals and aspirations went up in flames, LITERALLY! At first I was completely puzzled as to how I allowed ONE moment destroy EVERYTHING I had achieved thus far. It didn't take long to realize that. . .

". . . I should have just listened ! "

Senior year of high school had to be one of the greatest years of my life. I put in tremendous amounts of effort throughout my four years and it had FINALLY paid off. I graduated with honors, in the top ten percent of my class, with several full ride opportunities, scholarships and grants. So understand how heartbreaking it was to in one moment, be on top of the world and in the very next, below rock bottom. I have no one else to blame but myself. . .

". . . I did not listen ! "

Consequently, because of NOT LISTENING, I had to spend the prior two years of my life trying to salvage and reconstruct my foundation, which has not been easy by ANY means.

It has been two and a half years to the date and I am as ready as they come to get the ball rolling again. Watching all of my friends get ready to graduate did something to me when I (as well as all of you) know that I should be picking out venues for my graduation party as well. Great thing about life is mistakes were meant to be made because lessons are meant to be learned and I'VE CERTAINLY learned mine! Heck, I've memorized it at this point and I am more than ready to transform that minor setback into a memorable comeback!

On August 22, 2014 I WILL be enrolled in school. Unfortunately, I have a small debt that weakens the mortar between the bricks I have set into place and if I do not meet the required deadline, I will be unable to proceed with reconstructing that foundation for a while. I have exhausted every avenue for obtaining resources that could help fund the required amount and so I am in desperate need of assistance to meet that due date. ANY contribution would be a HUGE help and would be GREATLY appreciated.

If you are unable to donate at this time, I just ask that you please share my page with at least three individuals that you feel will be able to assist me with reaching my goal.

Thank you SO much for taking the time out to read this letter. PLEASE keep me in your prayers and believe me when I say that you can trust me, because I give you my word that this time not only am I listening. . .

". . . I HEAR YOU ! "
