I'm just really proud of myself, and I'm happy that I get to do this. I'm proud to set an example for our kids and show them it's never too late to finish what you started, and it's fine if your life path doesn't look exactly like everybody else's does.
The teachers were fantastic. They were so helpful. My advisor made sure I was completely covered. From keeping me on track with the classes I needed to answering all my questions.
You can slice and dice the program to fit your life. Don't feel like you have to be a full-time student. You can be a part-time student and still get everything out of the curriculum.

"General studies was the best use of the classes I had taken. It gave me the freedom to take classes that relate to the career route I was on. The ability to do everything fully online was huge for me. I wouldn't have been able to finish if it weren't for that.
It was an adjustment, but my classmates gave me pointers and showed me how to work with newer software. It really helped me develop skills needed in the workplace and to keep up with the new generation.
Be intentional and purpose driven. Its not going to be easy, but its all about how you plan and go about your day-to-day life. Be structured and just know that if I can do it while juggling a business, so can you.
