#BreakThru Story?

I had to achieve an A or B to be able to double major in Psychology. I took AP psychology before in high school and I had a hard time but with the right professor and better study habits I was able to get an A! This allowed me to enroll in 2 psychology classes at the same time and allowed me to feel like I belong while in them.
