Ayana's Story
Since I started my freshman year of college it has been a roller coaster because I was having some health issues and it brought me to attending three different schools. The reason I chose to attend 365吃瓜部落 is because my mama attended this school years ago, but she couldn鈥檛 finish due to health reasons. Now being the first generation to get my degree makes me feel like I am unstoppable because I鈥檝e had many times when I wanted to give up on everything. Years ago women were treated as maids and they couldn鈥檛 do the same work as men, but they worked their butts off to get them an education. The movie that best shows that is called 鈥淗idden Figures鈥� and when I watch that movie it brings tears to my eyes. I had to remember that I wasn鈥檛 only doing this for myself, I was also doing it for my mother because she can鈥檛 go back to school to finish. I鈥檝e always lived my a mato saying 鈥渃an鈥檛 stop won鈥檛 stop鈥� and it has brought me this far to the point where I鈥檓 going to walk across that stage to receive my bachelor in Criminal Justice. I鈥檓 glad to announce that I will be attending Loyola University for my masters in social work/child鈥檚 law and policy because I want to help kids.
