Growing Up

As we get older everyone diverges into their own little niche. It's fun to see where people choose to go, which routes they take, what jobs they pursue...

I work two jobs about 18 hours a week, hold an equivalent to four college classes, TRY to study 24 hours a week, blah blah blah.

Today I met a fourth-year. What an amazing person.

I asked her, "How do you pay for college, Tera?"

She told me that:

-her parents don't support her so she works

-she works about 30-40 hours a week!!!

-and babysits.

-AND is graduating on time....

-is involved on campus.

"Do you sleep?"

"NO!" she says with eyes wide open and a constant smile.

She comes into work all the time so genuine and happy.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G...

I guess no matter how hard you think you're working there are always other people with different scenarios, pushing their limit...they'll shock you.

She's most inspiring to me!

She gives me hope.

I can do this.

My name is Sacha Rose Robbins. I'm an English major and Psychology, Biology, and Philosophy minor. I manage two jobs and the college load. I'm a first year and already $19,000 in debt. I make less than $7,000 a year.

I want a Ph.D. I will get it.

Good luck to all who have dreams and actually make an effort to make it happen.
