GOAL AKA +
 

AT AGE 38YRS. I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT (FRESHMAN). IAM ALSO THE FIRST ONE OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE TO GAIN A B.S.DEGREE.

IT HAS BEEN A LONG AND HARD STUGGLE TO GET WHERE I AM TODAY. WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT OR SUPPORT, FROM THOSE YOU ASPECT WOULD GIVE IT TO YOU,IT MADE ME STRONGER AND MORE DETERMINED. I MADE THIS STATEMENT TO SAY THAT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT, AND ENCOURAGEMENT, I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY GOALS THUS FAR ANYWAY, AND HERE I AM NOW READY TO SEEK MEMBERSHIP WITH THE AKA SORORITY.

I AM SEEKING THE ADVISE OF THE SISTERS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
BY THE WAY I AM VERY SHY, BUT IN CONTROL OF WHO I AM, WHAT I WANT, WHERE I AM GOING AND MOST OF ALL I BELIEVE IN ME.

First of all I would like to say Congratulations for making the decision to go back to school and pursue YOUR dreams despite what others may believe. College is tuff at ANY AGE and I pray that God keeps you in your endeavors and holds you close.

As for the other...I think I will convey the general sentiment of my sorors in this foreum. Be Yourself, watch your grades, serve the community and GET TO KNOW THE SORORS ON CAMPUS. I was shy once as well..and one thing my sorors taught me was that shy has its place and time...but AKA women DO NOT stop going for what they want. Thats what makes us AKA WOMEN!!!

Again...Good luck
