Clutching my backpack, holding onto my coffee-mug and grasping my purse for dear life was the state of affairs for me in my early beginnings at UMKC. Unfortunately, my past teachers didn’t share encouraging stories about college, which didn’t make me optimistic about the next four years of my life. But now, I find myself empowered by education and feeling entitled to every benefit that a person can reap from being a seeker of knowledge.
