SLIDE 13

“With all of these requirements my biggest fear in life is that I'm not going to be able to graduate on time. I feel like these requirements are to much. if I don't meet one I feel like I'm going to be a huge disappointment to myself and my family. I will be the first one in my family to graduate on time but with these requirements I feel like that's going to prevent me from my family's expectations and their dreams. Please make this not a requirement for graduation. Please help me not to fail my family.”
