My name is Shantrice A. I am a college graduate (Bachelor's and Master's Degree recipient). I did very well in high school, then upon entering/completing college I experienced my share of struggles both personally and academically. During my sophomore year of college I became a parent, in addition to my role as a mother, I worked Part-time/Full-time throughout my entire four years of undergrad. My academic performance suffered greatly due to the personal and financial obstacles I faced during college. Several years after graduating from college I am still attempting to recover from the decisions of my past, as I work to pursue my life long dream of becoming a physician. I hope that I can help other young women (young mothers), high school students (upcoming graduates) transition in young adulthood, tackle the rigors of life outside of their comfort zones and spare them from experiencing some of the pitfalls that many young adults fall into while in college aimlessly working towards their dreams.
I think hard times have the power to change the way a person views them-self and how they view the world, but when you add faith and prayer experiencing adversity builds character. I never thought I would say this but I am so thankful for all of the experiences I have had. I would have never known the power of joy and promise when I experienced triumph, had I not been faced with the agony of failure.
