0:00:07.129,0:00:09.378
I'M SHERYL MADISON AND I'M A SOCIAL WORK MAJOR

0:00:09.378,0:00:13.758
I WILL BE HEADING TO TEXAS A&M COMMERCE

0:00:13.758,0:00:16.013
MY NAME IS TASHA BOWMAN

0:00:16.013,0:00:20.513
I'M A GRADUATE OF UTA AND I TOOK CLASSES

0:00:20.513,0:00:22.989
MY FINAL CLASSES, AT NORTH LAKE COLLEGE

0:00:22.989,0:00:25.906
MY NAME IS JOHNETTA BOLDON AND I AM A JOURNEY TO SUCCESS COACH

0:00:25.906,0:00:28.941
I ALSO WORK FOR THE EASTFIELD COLLEGE POLICE DEPARTMENT

0:00:28.941,0:00:35.897
I WAS TAKING STATISTICS CLASS[br]ELEMENTARY STATISTICS

0:00:35.897,0:00:41.313
I GOT MOST OF MY COURSES ALL DONE EXCEPT THAT ONE

0:00:41.313,0:00:46.299
AND THAT WAS MY PROBLEM AREA

0:00:46.299,0:00:47.728
SO I NEEDED TO GET SOME HELP

0:00:47.728,0:00:49.944
WITH ELEMENTARY STATISTICS

0:00:49.944,0:00:52.572
THAT WAS THE FINAL CLASS

0:00:52.572,0:00:54.625
THAT I HAD TO TAKE TO COMPLETE

0:00:54.625,0:00:56.240
MY DEGREE

0:00:56.240,0:00:58.664
I SAW THE EMAIL ABOUT JOURNEY TO SUCCESS

0:00:58.664,0:01:00.602
AND I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS A COACH

0:01:00.602,0:01:03.605
SO I WENT TO HER TO ASK HER ABOUT THE PROGRAM

0:01:03.605,0:01:06.008
TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ABOUT

0:01:06.008,0:01:08.189
PLUS I JUST GOT LAID OFF FROM WORK

0:01:08.189,0:01:13.140
KIND OF STRESSED SOME WITH FAMILY ISSUES

0:01:13.140,0:01:16.463
I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO BE FOCUSED ENOUGH TO MAKE IT

0:01:16.463,0:01:21.114
SO AFTER I SPOKE WITH MS. JANETTA SHE SAID, "YOU CAN JOIN THE PROGRAM"

0:01:21.114,0:01:24.829
SO SHE SENT MY NAME OVER TO THE PERSON THAT’S OVER IT

0:01:24.829,0:01:26.659
SO SHE COULD BE MY SUCCESS COACH.

0:01:26.659,0:01:29.882
WELL EVEN PRIOR TO BECOMING A SUCCESS COACH

0:01:29.882,0:01:33.076
I MENTORED STUDENTS EVEN WHEN I WAS IN THE PIT

0:01:33.076,0:01:37.542
I'M A STUDENT MYSELF SO I UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURES THAT COME ALONG

0:01:37.542,0:01:39.374
WITH BEING IN A NEW ENVIRONMENT

0:01:39.374,0:01:40.860
NEW COLLEGE

0:01:40.860,0:01:42.610
NEW EXPERIENCES

0:01:42.610,0:01:45.828
GETTING OUT THERE AND BEING MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF

0:01:45.828,0:01:49.642
SO IN PROVIDING THOSE ENCOURAGING WORDS TO STUDENTS HERE ON CAMPUS

0:01:49.642,0:01:56.645
I WAS ABLE TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING THEY HAD GOING ON HERE

0:01:56.645,0:02:00.895
I DON’T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PUT IT BUT TO MINISTER TO ME

0:02:00.895,0:02:02.914
AND TO ENCOURAGE ME

0:02:02.914,0:02:07.181
AND LET ME KNOW THAT I CAN MAKE IT IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON

0:02:07.181,0:02:12.194
PUSH HARD - DO THE BEST THAT I CAN AND I'LL BE SUCCESSFUL

0:02:14.008,0:02:17.284
SO ANOTHER CLASSMATE I RAN INTO

0:02:17.453,0:02:19.161
SHE TOLD ME ABOUT JOURNEY TO SUCCESS

0:02:19.538,0:02:23.559
SHE ACTUALLY TOLD ME ABOUT JOURNEY TO SUCCESS A YEAR AGO

0:02:24.406,0:02:28.048
I DIDN'T STILL REALLY KNOW WHAT IT WAS

0:02:28.048,0:02:32.920
BUT ONE DAY I WAS SITTING AT MY DESK AT WORK

0:02:32.920,0:02:37.470
AND THEY TOLD ME, THEY SENT ME AN EMAIL

0:02:37.470,0:02:40.585
AND WHAT IT WAS SAYING IN THE ARTICLE WAS

0:02:40.585,0:02:42.551
IF YOU NEED SOME EXTRA HELP

0:02:42.551,0:02:47.519
WE'RE HERE TO MAKE YOUR JOURNEY TO SUCCESS COMPLETE

0:02:47.519,0:02:50.973
IT HAS HELPED ME TO REMAIN FOCUSED

0:02:50.973,0:02:52.448
ON MY GOALS

0:02:52.448,0:02:56.637
AND MY SCHOOL WORK I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE HER TO CHECK IT

0:02:56.637,0:03:00.519
BUT JUST

0:03:00.519,0:03:02.254
I GUESS LESS STRESS

0:03:02.254,0:03:04.035
LEARNING TO COPE WITH IT

0:03:04.035,0:03:07.631
AND LEARNING TO COPE WITH THE DIFFICULTIES OF TEACHERS

0:03:07.631,0:03:10.055
IT’S JUST BEEN A BLESSING

0:03:10.055,0:03:15.182
SO I WENT TO THE OFFICE WHERE THEY HAVE JOURNEY TO SUCCESS

0:03:15.182,0:03:19.069
AND THEY HAD ME TO ACTUALLY

0:03:19.069,0:03:21.104
FILL OUT A FORM ONLINE

0:03:21.104,0:03:24.236
I HAD A PHONE CALL THEY WERE GOING TO MATCH ME UP WITH SOMEONE

0:03:24.236,0:03:27.838
TO TAKE ME THROUGH THE PROGRAM

0:03:27.838,0:03:30.137
AND KIND OF COACH ME

0:03:30.137,0:03:31.233
(A SUCCESS COACH?)

0:03:31.233,0:03:33.053
A SUCCESS COACH, YES

0:03:33.053,0:03:41.532
AND SO THEY MATCHED ME UP WITH SOMEONE AND THEY REALLY CHECKED IN ON ME

0:03:41.532,0:03:45.273
THEY REFERRED ME TO A TUTOR

0:03:45.273,0:03:47.422
A SPECIAL TUTOR THEY HAD THERE

0:03:47.422,0:03:51.756
AND SO I WORKED WITH HIM TWO, MAYBE THREE TIMES A WEEK

0:03:51.756,0:03:54.933
HE WAS VERY PATIENT WITH ME

0:03:54.933,0:03:57.821
I APPRECIATED THAT

0:03:57.821,0:04:00.754
WELL WE WORKED ON MY SCHOOL WORK

0:04:00.754,0:04:04.005
SHE WOULD ASK FOR COPIES OF WHAT IM DOING

0:04:04.005,0:04:07.617
TO TURN IN AND GO OVER IT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OK

0:04:07.617,0:04:10.984
ALSO WHEN I HAD MY PERSONAL ISSUES

0:04:10.984,0:04:13.930
I WOULD GO IN AND TALK WITH HER ABOUT THEM

0:04:13.930,0:04:16.473
TO HELP ME GET THROUGH MY DAY

0:04:16.473,0:04:23.063
IT TAUGHT ME TO CONTINUE TO LISTEN TO THAT SMALL VOICE

0:04:23.063,0:04:25.154
TO ASK QUESITONS

0:04:25.154,0:04:27.952
TO SEEK AND I FOUND

0:04:27.952,0:04:32.056
DON'T BE AFRAID AND INTIMIDATED TO ASK FOR HELP

0:04:32.056,0:04:34.804
IN WHATEVER YOURE DOING

0:04:34.804,0:04:40.034
I WALKED AWAY FROM THE PROGRAM WANTING TO BE A JOURNEY TO SUCCESS COACH

0:04:40.034,0:04:44.831
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE

0:04:44.831,0:04:48.871
I KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO FEEL HOPELESS

0:04:48.871,0:04:58.520
AND I FELT INTIMIDATED TO ASK
