Associates degree in liberal arts

I was dual enrollment in high school, so while taking AP classes I was also going back and forth to Kingsborough community college to take classes for my associates degree. At kingsborough, my community grew! I met so many different kinds of people, who helped me through struggles and I learned so many life lessons as well as educational ones. I graduated high school with my associates degree in Liberal arts
