I knew it would be hard but I knew where I wasn’t where I wanted to be and that it would be worth it if I left. I’d figure it out.” Nayte added, “Fast forward nearly four years and here we are. I’m proud to say that I paid my way through University by myself, I worked my ass off, I made time to still have the ‘college experience’ and I now have this Degree to show for it. In the words of my father, ‘Education is something that no one can take away from you. No matter how hard they try.’ I have accomplished something that can never be taken away from me.
