When I finally graduated from high school in 2011, after being pulled back to the 12th grade, I went straight to college.

Years ago I had decided to become a dentist after being discourage by my mom. But, when I started college I did not know exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I chose Liberal Arts as my major and I studied in this program for about 2 semester. Even though Liberal Arts gives you general education for a broad of careers I felt like I was not doing anything. After my first two semesters I decided to change my major to the Dental Hygiene program. There are pre-requisite classes a student must take in order to advanced into the program. At that time, acceptance into the program was determine with a GPA of 2.8 and above. I finished all my classes with a GPA of 3.2 and I needed to wait for a letter from the chairman determining whether or not I made it into the program. Unfortunately, my GPA of 3.2 was not enough to make it and I was asked if I wanted to be considered for the waiting list of the following year. I was very dissapointed..I felt like I had waisted my time, effort, and money and that all I got in returned was a closed door.

I always wondered what was going on in the second floor of the school’s general building. I always asked myself why the walls where white and different from all the other floors. I had the sense that it was a floor for very special people. Then, I discovered it was the Hospitality Management Department floor and my heart dropped. I had enrolled in Citytech not knowing that the school has a Hospitality department. I switched my major one more time and this time I knew I would be the last one.

Luckily all the credits I had obtained from LAA and dental hygiene had transfer to the Hospitality program. Here is where my journey begins.
