Started as a deans list student only to slowly fail out due to mental illness before I could get my engineering degree. I fought it hard in the trenches for a couple of years, somehow found the strength to fight back.

Came back and am now a deans list student 3 semesters running, got my gpa back to a 3.0 and I graduate next December. I’m really ashamed of it but I’m also really proud of myself for not staying down after getting knocked in the head.
