Tomorrow will be the one year anniversary of my first post here, and my first baby step towards completing a degree.

My stats are not impressive. In the year, I started with 46 credits, half from an aborted community college attempt in the 90's, half from a vocational school I attended. To that, I have only added 34 credits, and some aren't able to be applied to my current path.

But, after I finish my portfolio process, I expect to be almost finished.

I haven't gone as fast as I could, nor have I loaded myself as many here do. I took a slower, less-taxing path, and yet, here I am, completing a Bachelors!

I wouldn't have done this without the support and guidance of this site. I am humbled to be here, and owe y'all quite a debt.

I'm only posting so that if other me's out there cruise through here, if I can do it, I KNOW you can!!

So, gonna try something...

Instead of making a three foot signature block, think I'm gonna link to this post to show the actual courses I've taken since I started college this time around in 2016.

I don't understand why my formatting is all jacked up, even when I use the WYSIWYG mode in the advanced post window. I do see that tab is unsupported...

High_Order1, you appear to have what you would need for a Pierpont Community and Technical College AAS with area of emphasis in Criminal Justice. I know PCTC will list that on a transcript, but I'm not sure that WVNCC will, so go with PCTC.
