I will be the first person in my family to attended college. My parents never got passed middle school. They were both faced with the hardship and had no choice but to get a job to with the responsibilities of home. In mu household, education was never a priority. Being third child of five children the only expectation my parents required of us was get a high school diploma. My entire life I struggle through school, not aware I had a learning disability; I had become discourage and I began to take school for granted, despite my struggles I was able to ge m diploma. College was never discussed in my household, so I believed I had met my parent’s expectation. I was not until I had my own children that I begin to wonder what life would be like, I had gone to college. I knew I wanted more for my children. What I have to come to realize is that children do not always learn from what you say but they learn from what they see, so A that very moment I knew I had to set an example for my children. But like my parents, I would e faced with hardship as being a single moth of three children and 3 grandchildren. Ultimately I did and got a job. After working for fifteen years at Cholestech cooperation we were notified that the company was sold and would be outsourcing to China, although sadden I decided to look at this setback to be my come back to further my education and to my surprise it would be a blessing in disguise. I knew this was my opportunity to back to school; to be that example not only for my children but also to others. I am showing others that coming back to school after wo plus years, it is possible and never to late. It was not until I got to Chabot college that I was tested and was told to I had a learning disability. The disable Center and the resources that are offered here has been my driving motivation to continuing with my education. Being a part of Chabot has been an awesome experience, I have met so many people who has been so inspirational.
