Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.

Eventually, I want to finish my degree.

Each year, I say I'm going to go to school next year. It's inevitable that I'll end up getting my education.

I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.

My parents told me that education was the path to success - and they showed me, taking me to Head Start while they were pursuing their own college degrees.

I know my parents are really proud of me, and they think I've become successful, so that's nice, but there's still so much I want to achieve in my life.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents, but especially my mother, encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

I think my parents did want me to go to university just in case, but neither my mum or dad went to uni, so they couldn't talk.

I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.
