Realization

I have become the cause of my families early financial issues. Morehouse College is the college I attend and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It's a perfect match when it comes to a school that fits me, this school is the most compatible. I am blessed and thankful for the people that have helped me get here, but I should not have needed them. I could have got here, on my own accord throughout my high school education.

The Golden KEY. High School was leading me to that golden key from the beginning. Education was feeding me directions on how to get through the mountains, rivers, jungles, deserts and turmoil and to that Golden KEY. That Golden KEY should have been my easy access to the LOCK that is Morehouse College. That LOCK could only accept two different keys. That Golden KEY or the other dirty-bronze KEY. Instead of achieving that Golden KEY, I achieved that dirty-bronze KEY. The dirty-bronze KEY. I found it in the crust and corner of my turmoil of struggle in high school. As I could barely get by in my classes in high school, I could barely find myself in a prestigious college like Morehouse College.

1. The Golden KEY: (what should have happened.)

• Work hard on assignments
• Study thoroughly for exams
• Procrastination should be non-existent
  
• Knowledge becomes inevitable
• Graduation with top-notch grade results.
• Academic Scholarships.
• Parental happiness, money saved for other siblings and rest of family.
  
• Acceptance of the Golden KEY.

2. The dirty-bronze KEY: (what really happened.)

• Occasional strong work ethic
• Many nights of last minute preparation
• Procrastination is almost second nature
• Knowledge is occasionally there, yet it's more memorized than learned.
• Graduation with average grade results.
• Denial of Golden KEY.
• No Scholarships.
• More money out of my parents pocket...unhappy/ disappointed.
  
• Appeal for second KEY = dirty-bronze KEY
• Apply same steps (above) as if you were going for The Golden KEY in summer progam.
• Letters of recommendations
• Knowing people and talking with people on attaining acceptance
• Receive Acceptance of the dirty-bronze KEY.
• Heavy Loans, and high tuition.
  

Number 2. was the long and complicated steps I took to get into my college. It was not worth it. I got what I wanted, but now my parents have money issues because of my choice to attain the dirty-bronze KEY.



I PRAY for my future educational judgments; that i make the smart and right ones. My parents know I can do it. I know i can do it. I just need to prove it to REALITY.
