“Being in college is not an easy experience. There are lots of trials and tribulations. People say that college isn’t for everybody. And, at some point along this journey, I started to question whether it was for me.

But then I had to realize that every time I thought it was my end, God would show me that it was only my beginning. And, he brought something different and new to the table every time. When I was down, or had come to a road block, he showed me a way to get over it or around it. He showed me new routes, new options, and many different ways to accomplish a goal. I learned that if you’re not able to get through the front door, then try the back door and see where it takes you.

It’s just knowing that no matter what trial you may go through, whether good or bad, all of it is working for your good.”
