Finally I am proud of my academic self!

       All my life I have struggle with my education. I have a language comprehension disability, which made school that much harder considering everything revolves around language. I so proud of myself for this past fall semester. I really pushed myself (some thought I was a bit too harsh on myself.) I wanted strait A's so bad, mostly because a a child I never thought I could do it. After receiving my grades for the semester, I was absolutely ecstatic to see that I had completed my goal for the semester.
      This past Saturday, I received a letter stating that "due to [ my ] outstanding performance last semester, [ I ] have been made the President's List."  This upcoming Tuesday I will be attending a ceremony to receive a certificate!!! After the ceremony, my family will be joining me for a celebration reception. I have been inside the building where this event will be held and it's Victorian style adds that extra feeling of being special. This semester is looking great again and continue to push forward, only this time with my head held just a little higher.
