Briefly discuss your academic background. did you utilize any additional support at your high school, such as tutoring? do your grades in high school and/or college reflect your academic ability or potential?

In one sense, I'm not proud of my academic background. Because I ran away from home, therefore I couldn't go to school being a runaway. However, on my 27th birthday I decided to go get my GED. I had two sons by then, and they were starting school. I knew that if I was going to teach them the value of an education, I had to be an example of that. My only regret is that I didn't continue on. The one thing I am proud of was that I was in a class of over 200+ to get my GED. I received a letter telling ,me I would be graduating in the top 10! Who knew?! Proves to me that people shouldn't ever cast doubt on someone, they might just be surprised!
