I really never did think that I'd be where I am in life. Years ago I imagined myself now, in prison or possibly dead. I feel I've come far, I still have family members that doubt I will make it much longer, but fortunatley I feel stronger then ever before in the element of hope and self confidence.

I recieved my final grades and GPA and I got all A's agian this semester and I have a 3.80 GPA. I'm excited for the next semester, I hope to walk away as happy next semester as I did this semester.

I sometimes wish I could go back to Indiana or Arizona and find the people that saw me at my worst, but had faith in me....I owe them more then I could possibly verbally express, but still the attempt would be nice. Just to show them that they had the right idea about me before I did would satisfy me.
