Hello, my name is Sherica Dawkins. I am an only child which makes the expectations for me to succeed in my career higher. Throughout my years of school, it was not always easy. I have faced with many challenges especially with math. During my time at the community college I struggled with passing my remedial math which takes me 3 years to complete my Associate Degree. This was my biggest struggle because I am a very hardworking student and I take my work seriously. By constantly failing, I started to become discouraged and frustrated because I wanted to move on to the next step, which is to pass my math and graduate. However, I played and watch different sports especially soccer to help me function and be determine to pass my test. Also I coach kid’s soccer and when I am coaching I always tell the kids to not give up, and strive for what they want, no matter what obstacles they faced. Therefore, because of my hard work and determination I was able to pass my math and graduate with honors. On the other hand, I like to read lots of inspirational books that I can relate to and use to stay positive. These are the few things that help me get to where I am today here at Brooklyn College, and I plan on continuing this great path to my success.
