Got to graduate

What do you do when you have all odds against you and you only see one way out? Push through of course. How could i let this only way out close on me. I knew this since a very young girl.
I moved several times as a kid. I had to make new friends. That was hard. The kids i was friends with were like me. Poor and mexican. I longed to be part of the popular group, i wanted to learn their ways they were the ticket out because the had it all. So i thought. But i kept my friends i could not become popular because i did not fit in with that crowd. I did not dress that way, i did not talk that way, i did not have the same experiences. So i pushed through. I did experience my years in school as i wanted. I did what i wanted to experience. I joined clubs, i was involved in extra curricular activities. I wanted thise experiences so i did not let anyone hold me back.
The year we moved was a devistation. When my dad first told me of the move i was excited because i wanted to experience a great move. I knew it ment i was leaving the life i had behind but i also knew i was trading it for a greater purpose. I pushed through my high school years in a foreign place all the way through my masters.
