Grown woman-ish
I turned 18.
I got a job.
I graduated from high school.
Went off to college.
Completed my freshman year.
Sophomore year started off fine but second semester brought a surprise.
Accreditation scare.
My institution was in danger.
My education was between a rock and a hard place.
I was unbothered.
My unbotherdness turned into worries.
My worries put me in a place of sadness.
I had to make the decision if I should leave my beloved Bennett College or stay.
Stay at the place where I was comfortable and gained a lot of sisters.
Leave my sisters behind, move on and attend another institution where I know my degree is secured.
I got up.
I left.
I moved on.
I had to make a grown woman decision and walk away.
