Before attending ASU, I never thought I was smart enough for college. I always thought that college was a place where geniuses go, and I would never get there. When I finally decided to try out college again, I surprised myself at how well I would do in the classroom. I then made it my personal goal to graduate with honors to prove that I am smart enough, and I ended up graduating Magna Cum Laude! Thanks to ASU helping me earn my degree, I feel like I can accomplish anything!
