Before becoming a parent I was totally undecided if I wanted to further my education. Now as a father of three, I fully want to beging my higher education and achieve goals I have set. Then comes the hard part being a parent is not easy and juggling all the things at once makes it more difficult, like what I'm doing right now. Applying to scholarship so I can financially afford college and not hurt my family. While this is long and telling I am a father of three amazing children, two girls and one boy ranging from five years old to seven months old. So with that because a struggle in itself.i personally need to prove to my children that you can achieve anything you put your mind to and never give up on your dreams. I live for sports and my kids see that daily. So with that I have been accepted into full sail university for sports casting. Sports Casting will allow me to follow my dreams and be a parent at the same time. Achieving this goal of mine to finish school will help me tremendously. It will allow me to be more financially stable for my family, while also doing something I love to do. Thank you for taking your time to read this have a blessed day.

As a young adolescent I was in trouble constantly, from being kicked out of school to going to facilities. When I turned 16 things turned for the worse being placed in a youth home not knowing really what was gonna come from it. I had given up on school so I had no credentials to even think of graduating. After being in the youth home I was sent to Arkansas National Guard Youth Challenge program. If you are unaware of that program it's for teens who are not so outstanding people, with military structure I decided I would work my tail off to be a better person. They broke me down in that program to nothing to mold me into a better person. After six months I graduated that program with my GED and some small awards. It was not easy nor was it supposed to be. Now as a father I face adversity every day and I need to prove to them change is hard but possible. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
