Today in class we were suppose to create a thesis and draft plan of our essay. But instead Mrs. Crawford had another assignment for us today a essay on why are we in college titled:

Defeating the Odds

I attend San Antonio College because I am a thirty soon to be thirty- one year old, African American, and I think that I am a very intelligent young woman, but I have not accomplished anything in my life. I have tried going to college on three different occasions and I have not gotten far. Over the last few months I have set down to reevaluate some things in my life, and going back to school was first on my list. My mother has a bachelor’s in business and my father is a few months away from a PHD in biblical studies. I said to myself there is not any reason why I should not have a degree; I come from an educated family.
This time around my college experience is exciting, and I am motivated to come to class and do homework. I am more focused on what I want because I see the things that I could have had by now. Those days when I wake up, and hit the snooze button, and say to myself” I will go tomorrow.” Then I think about all the things that I should have already accomplished in my life, also my husband yelling in my ear about the money he paid. So my reasons for college and accomplishing is encouraged by the people around me and, me telling myself you should have already been in this position.
