I passed all my classes: My journey to graduation

I passed all my classes this semester.🙌🏻
It feels damn good. I worked so hard and stressed out like crazy this semester for writing 10 page papers and more. For one of my finals, I ended up writing a project that ended up being 42 pages. I’ve heard nothing but negative comments my whole life from people saying that I won’t amount to anything in life, I’ve heard that from a counselor and a teacher back in junior high school, from a staff member in high school, a so called friend a couple of years ago, my half siblings, an ex bf, female cousins and even women on here who called me ignorant and painted a picture of me being this dumb person that doesn’t know much of anything. I am so close to graduating. Just one more semester and then I will try to go for my masters next year. None of the women in my family have reached this level of education that I am obtaining except for one cousin who is a nurse. Every other female cousin has dropped out of school or unfortunately revolved their lives around there boyfriends until the relationship ends and wasted away so many years like that. My family is old fashioned so usually women are expected to get married to a man who has money. Things are changing and now people don’t want to stay married. I have an aunt that was divorced after 30 years of marriage who is now poor. I don’t want to rely on a man because you never know what can happen. I love the family life of being home but I would also love to find myself a career. I wouldn’t mind doing something where I can somehow balance both the home life and work life without over doing it. I want to have enough time to be with my children.
