I got an email today about the honors program on Friday where I will receive an award. It was just logistics but I started crying again! I know Ashley Harris AGAIN! While I am truly humbled to be receiving this award some people have expressed the opinion that perhaps I was not the right choice or undeserving. To you, I say your wrong. My goal has always been to finish college with any cord or medal I could get around my neck. As a teenager I struggled in school because my family moved alot and if I would have honored the statistics I should have never graduated high school. Education was not a priority in my family because food and shelter were. Of course momma made us go to school but we didnt talk about future colleges or plan for the SAT. I moved to Georgia when I was 16 years old. My family was homeless once again and I swore then I would work hard and I would be somebody some day. I would change the world and people would remember me. So Friday as I hear my name called and I walk to accept my award..it will be more than a chunk of wood or piece of glass...for me it represents every obstacle that has been thrown at me that I have made it through. Its for every sacrifice that I have made and others have made on my behalf. Its about honoring the purpose God put in me before I was conceived in my mothers womb. I WILL finish the work he has for me. I am an overcomer through Christ Jesus..because I am more than a conquerer and when I fall I will rise up and continue to move forward because I AM THE CHILD OF THE KING.....and I AM NOT A QUITTER!
