Throughout my elementary years my mom went to school full time and was a huge inspiration to me, proving to me that I could go to school and urging me subconsciously that I should go. As I got older, I started reading statistics of the money degree holders earned over high school graduates; I felt as though I needed a degree to be wealthy after I read those statistics, and I started making connections between the wealthy I knew and their education levels. I became a little more mature, and I paid
