Kimberly faced some early setbacks when coming back to school. She had trouble accessing good advising when she first enrolled. She started by enrolling with major courses instead of doing a general education classes and then she transferred to a 4 year college.

She is a business management major, emphasising in paralegal studies. She feels like, with proper advising, she would have went to Walter State for 2 years, transferred to a 4 year college and went on to Nashville School of Law. As for now, she will graduate in May 2008 with a business management degree and paralegal certification. She plans to work in a law office for the experience, and continue on to get a B.S. degree and then go to law school. Ultimately she plans on being a lawyer by the time she is 45 years old, but she realizes that being a non traditional student, she has to leave herself some buffer room for life’s little bumps.
