My name is Norma Johnson, am thirty (Blank) years old back in school. When I stop and look back over my life I can't believe that I am back here again. Grateful yes I  am! God allowed me to get accepted into Trinity. I start this journey about two years ago, back at South Suburban.  At the time I was not looking to attend a different college. Even though I knew it I wanted to be in the education program, I just did not know where to start.
  One day while I was on a break in between classes I ran into a representative for Trinity at South Suburban. He was gave me some information about the adult studies program here at Trinity.  I called to set up a time to meet with Sandy and here we are now two years later.  It was one of the best decisions I ever made deciding to join adult studies program at Trinity. Everything I was looking for was here. I needed to be in a classroom setting that was small and affordable. I was drawn right away when I was told about the education cohort,  it was designated just for me. I prayed and asked God to allow me to be accepted into Trinity if this was where he wanted me to attend.
I can remember my first day on campus, it was a Wednesday in July.  Everyone was in chapel, but I wondered around campus getting myself familiar with it. That September I started my courses, my first class was a college algebra. I was so scared not just because I did not like math at all, but because I needed to pass the class. Look at me now almost completely done!! I am so proud of myself.
