Education Experience
My experience will last a lifetime in my eyes, not everyone gets wrapped up in that extent of peer pressure and comes out on top and on the fast track to success. I was once told that the children whom get in trouble with the judicial system earlier in life are normally the ones who learn from it, come out with their head on their shoulders. As opposed to the mid to elder age that get in trouble with the law typically have that kind of troubled future. Not necessarily though just a statement that I was once told by the Sergeant of Suquamish Police Department. Being that the extent of my committed offense was not damaging, nor stealing, or doing anything of the sort, other than a mere trespassing, still not good- but being that it wasn't as big of a crime to an extent. I learned a lot from the experience, I learned that peer pressure is never a good thing unless they are pressuring you to do better in your schooling or in your life. It was hard on me because my family had expected so much more from me to do better and I had simply just made a mistake and hung out with the wrong crowd for a week or so. I learned that even if life brings you down a road of confusion, and pressure, that anyone and everyone can better their lives and get on a great path to doing what they love. I thank my Athletic Medicine teacher for having faith in me when no one else did and helping me choose my career path and pushing me to do better in my schooling.. If it weren't for him I probably would still be with the wrong crowd of people and be partying every weekend in college and not doing my homework instead of focusing on my long term goal of medicine. I am so happy to finally have my path figured out, anything can happen I just have to keep these eyes open and subject to anything life throws at me.

It's nice to have a teacher in school take an interest and really believe in you. I had a teacher do the same for me when I hit a low point my life too. Glad you could come out the other side shining! : )
