THE POSITION SHIFT
I noticed my mistake when I watched all of my friends graduate a couple of years later.
It made me upset but at the same time, it made me want to do it “the
right way” even more.

I started making things happen in the right direction.
Started classes at NKU and
boosted my GPA
Decided to switch my
major
Applied to and
transferred to UK
THE AFTER
THE AFTER
I am finally back on track with four semesters completed “the right way.”
Proper prioritization is second nature to me now.
Now that I do want it for myself, I am making sure it happens.
THE AFTER
It is still a position shift in progress,
but this time I have the right
focus and motivation to complete it.
Conclusion
CONCLUSION
You have the rest of
your life to
