I Graduated Class 29

Well where do I start?  In the beginning of this long journey I felt homesick and I just wanted to give up. I cried my eyes out cause I thought I couldn't do it. It's been a couple of days that I finished Challenge and I miss it soooo much. I always say I can't believe I finished, I made it, I graduated. Before Challenge I didn't have a future because of my grades and behavior. I always would say that I didn't want to go to college and now look at me now I start September I'm going to start training for medical assistant. For Class 30, don't give up if I did and I was a out of control teen I think you could do it. It's normal to feel homesick.Trust me I lived with 36 girls and we all were homesick. Stick through it like I did.

Well anyways thanks to Sgt 1st class Sheppard, Sgt Hill, Sgt Moran, Ms Lubin Commandant Anderson and all staff I miss you guys!!!!
