In the the future I want to be able to take care of my parents so they can have a stress free life. They have motivated and helped me a ton up until this point in my life.
One of the biggest things I achieved with them by my side so far was obtaining a high school diploma. Even though it may not sound like much, in the bigger picture it is one of the puzzle pieces I will need to be successful. My GPA allows me to continue in my finance pathway.
The AAP offers a lot of positive elements that can have a great impact on our futures. The main thing it offers is high quality education for a reasonable price or even for free! The teachers and staff are very helpful and all qualified and educated for their positions. The only thing that I wished was a bit different was the connection we had to main campus. I use this as one of my main motivations to push me through the program, since I want to be able to experience the college life Newark offers.
Away from the school, the thing that makes me happiest is hanging out with and spending time with my friends. It allows me to take a step back from all the stuff going on in life, and sort of take a chill pill. I also love to spend time with family, because I know one day I will cherish those moments and wish I had more opportunities for them.
