Help Fund Ronica's Next Step

Hello everyone, if you happened upon this page and are currently reading this, I thank you from my heart and sincerely hope you can stay until the end.

I graduated junior college last week with my A.A.T (Associate of Arts Transfer Degree). It feels so weird being a first generation college student, even though I'm the youngest in my family. You're raised with this notion that your parents and your older siblings are supposed to pave the way for you but I did this alone, I paved my own way.

I never had the best life, I was raised with this idea that "Morris' are Survivors" but I never wanted to just survive, surviving never gave me a happy life, surviving was the light bill wasn't paid, the gas was off so no hot water, we had no food, but at least we had a roof over our head. Surving was we had no home but the car didn't get towed so at least we had somewhere warm to sleep. Surviving was we had nothing and we lived in a homeless shelter but at least we were together. Surviving was being beat and molested by people my mother trusted to raise us when she couldn't anymore. Surviving led to depression at a young age, surviving led to me feeling like there was no reason to live because the world was so against my life. Surviving hurt, surviving was painful. But we did it we survived despite everything. Despite everthing I survived and I did so much more.

I fought against everything and every one that told me I wasn't good enough, I fought against myself because I was the main one telling myself I wasn't good enough. I am still here and I am done surving, I am still here and I am done with people telling me that I can't do something, I am still here and I am ready to live. I'm not going back, I refuse to! The world was so big that night, everything felt larger than me and I was so scared, but I did it anyway. I graduated last week with honors and I am so PROUD of myself. I got accepted to 3 of 4 of the colleges I wanted to transfer to to get my next degree.

But this time I can't do it by myself , and I have no one in my life that can help me right now. I need help with things like school supplies, housing application fees, summer session books, and other fees that are popping up that I can't cover. I'm not prepared to stop I'm not ready to give up.

It is so important to me, thank you for taking the time to read my story and donating if you can.
