After five years of writing ridiculously long papers and taking difficult exams, I have officially received a bachelor's degree in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in History. My overall G.P.A. ended up being 3.2. Being able to say I am a college graduate is pretty awesome. I mean there have been people who have doubted my ability to handle college. Now I have proof that shows my disability has never stopped me from receiving a higher education. Sure, I had moments where I wanted to give up and drop out. I failed math a couple of times. I was not the best essay writer. However, I chose to keep striving. I'm glad I did not drop out. If I had, I would not have gained the skills to be a great professional writer. I felt so proud when I finally rolled across that stage and received my diploma. I am actually the first in my father's immediate family to graduate from college. So all the frustration and tears were worth it. Needless to say, the chapter of my college career has finally ended, and I am ready to start filling up pages of a new one.
What is next for me? Honestly, I have no definite answer. I plan to write short stories and novels. I don't know when I will try to get them published. I also plan to get a part-time job. I have been looking around. I also might try to become a model for fashion lines for the wheelchair bound. All I really know is that I will never stop sharing my story and inspiring others.
