    ...ain a university degree. Implementing a personal plan only enhances this chance and I fully intend to do my part. However, I would like to acknowledge an Authority over my life that supersedes any plans I might have, and that is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My first priority is to focus on and increase in my relationship with God. The bible says, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps” (Proverbs 16:9, NIV). Presbyterian minister Eugene Petersen sums my feelings up most eloquently, “…so, my task is not relying so much on my will, or fixating on how I think things should be done “…but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can respond to it , and participate and take delight in it.” (Clapp, 1987) Earning my college degree would satisfy one step in my greater mission to fully realize my highest potential.

    My journey to higher education spans 24-years and combines two passions, teaching and EMS (emergency medical services). This journey began in 1986 with a suburban kindergarten class of 25 in Memphis, TN. Eleven years later no longer am I teaching school-age children; instead, I am delivering training programs to EMS providers as well as the medical community. Today, I combine both passions to offer students authentic experiences through which to obtain proficient skills in written and oral communications, critical and analytical thinking, problem solving, as well as in negotiation and conflict resolution skills as they prepare for rewarding

I even thought to myself, “What about moving out of state?” Everyone was so nervous, and everyone had the right to be. We are all trying to take the next step into moving on after high school. Until April 5th, 2016, my proudest moment was this day. I received acceptance into the Alabama A&M university.
