history: I recently enrolled in college at the local community college.  I am so glad I am accomplishing something I have wanted to do for so long. I thought I would never get the chance or opportunity to better my life as well as my childrens.  I cant wait till I get that degree That's wonderful that you are pursuing a degree. What is it in?
current: I am getting a counseling degree to help abused women.  I feel I would make a good counselor since I  have been in a few abusive relationships myself.
next: That is great that you have been able to overcome and do this to help others. You can really make a difference!
