🎓 Life Update 🎓 Last week, I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology, Law, and Society. Although my journey was filled with challenges and doubt, I’m proud to say this chapter has come to an end and a new one is just beginning. I didn’t take the traditional path. I dropped out of trade school at 19, questioned my worth, and didn’t feel “college material.” But through community college, mentorship, and persistence, I found direction. This isn’t just a degree. It’s a symbol of growth, second chances, and the power of believing in yourself when it feels hardest to. Every late night, every setback, every “I’m not sure I can do this” moment brought me here. I wrote more about my journey in my latest blog post—check it out! ➣ https://lnkd.in/g9NhAD6D
