“The biggest obstacle I have had to face is teaching myself material and trying to get back to where I was before we left. I was in the groove of school. I was on top of everything. When I came back, I felt like everything was thrown at me, and I did not have the get-up-and-go that I had when we first got here.”

“After the hurricane, my closet caved in, so I lost a bunch of clothes and shoes. Coming back to school made it hard to get back on track with everything. Midterms was right there. It felt like we were just starting school, so I felt like I did not really know anything. It was just hard.”
