The beginning

 The beginning of this journey

The start 💀: 

    I am currently a running start student at a community college however, I will be transferring to a four-year university to study neuroscience. For clarification a running start student at least where I am from is a student who progresses from just the standard high school education to community college full-time or part-time; in my case, I am a full-time student. But I digress, what got me here was a rough experience in a NJROTC at my high school, making me no longer feel safe at the high school and pushing me towards this amazing program. Additionally, I was pushed over that line when they told me not to do the internship I had signed up for at my local hospital. 

      This of course wasn't gonna fly with me and I knew that I needed to leave; while I hoped for just a peaceful transition away from the nightmare that was high school for me I ended up getting harassed in the NJROTC program. Causing this process to be set at full speed, and I would be leaving that program immediately and set as the counselor's TA. This event which was at the time feeling like the end of the world as I knew it, was truly the best thing that ever happened to me.
