Personal Narrative: Coming Back To Texas Tech University

133 Words1 Page

It took me what seem like forever to be able to live out my dream of coming back to Texas Tech University. I told myself from the beginning of my college career that no matter what happens I will finish where I started not knowing what would soon happen. During second semester of my freshman year my father lost his leg due to an accident. Those times were the hardest not only for him but also for our family. My father lost his job, my mother had to work more and I made the choice to go back home to help out financially. As of today, things are not back to the way they were financially but I’m blessed to have parents who will do what they can just to see me succeed.
