## Caption

I wanted to post this as my conclusion to 2025 because I don’t think people truly understand what it means to me to have graduated from uofmichigan 〽️I came from a highschool where no one gets into michigan and if you do you fall into the category where you can’t afford to go. I wrote my college essay about feeling so lost in my own skin… I wanted to find my identity away from my small hometown, my skin color, my hair, my thrift store clothes, my low income free meals,  my 2005 nissan altima that broke down everyday, my social media, my fake smile when people tell me i’m doing good because it didn’t feel like it… I wanted to find who i was no matter how challenging that may be. I never felt like I fit in anywhere but saying Go Blue gave me a sense of community I could never understand but will forever be blessed to have. Michigan took a chance on a 3.7gpa student who wouldn’t be able to afford going to school if she got in. Not only did I get in but by Gods Grace, 3+ jobs throughout college, family / friends emotional support, and a million scholarship applications I got it done. wow.. first Gen 🥲 I just got my physical paper diploma sent in the mail this month and I want to hang it in my parents house to thank them. Thank them for taking a scary chance as 16 year olds and keeping the little girl they decided to name angel #teenpregnancy 🪽 They earned that diploma just as much as I did and they got two more on the way!!! iam_malachi_ josiah_jjr To anyone who’s been watching my life through a screen since the days i was dancing in front of my white garage to mattsteffanina videos… we’re just getting started! I’m not even close to done 🤍 I’m thankful for you all! Have a blessed 2025, 2026… LFG IM READY 🥹💛💙 #angeldancer #umich #graduate #newyears
