writing a short paragraph, 6 to 8 sentences, about your own experience. Use at least five present perfect verbs, including both affirmative (have + V) and negative (haven't + V) sentences.

I decided to go back to college after I had been out from high school for quite some years. I  wanted to succeed and graduate with honors. I have finished college with a master’s degree in business administration in Finance with a GPA of 3.96. I proved myself and others that I have earned a degree at the age of 54. I have set an example to my children that if I could do it, they can do it too!  

I am not saying it was easy, if I had not study hard enough and dedicated my time and effort on my studies, I  wouldn’t have finished my degree. I have changed ever since because now I can communicate better and excel in many topics. I have learned to love reading and listening to audio books to improve myself as well.  I haven't finished learning, now at my age of 61, I am still educating myself. Never quit, while you are still breathing you will learn many things in life.
