I personally enjoy the AAP because it has allowed me to just go through school and focus on my academics. I think if I started on main campus I would be too distracted. I also really enjoy the faculty and my advisor in this program. I have never done too well academically, so graduating high school and doing well in my first years of college has been a good accomplishment.

I kind of want to get through college and do well to be able to graduate, and get a job that I enjoy in HR. That is my one goal at the moment. I have also enjoyed doing art in the past and having at least one hobby that I am proud of.

My mom motivates me on the daily and always has me keep pushing myself to do good. She is very supportive and understanding, and is always there for me. I tell her pretty much everything.

Spending time with my family and friends definitely makes me the happiest. Whether we're just running errands together or going out, its always better to do it with someone. I like to go to my friends for support and advice.
