Passed College Math with a 54 (needed 50 to pass) yesterday and completed my BS degree. Failed Penn Foster final by one point and didn't think I'd ever get thru Math, but I did, finally, and now I'm done.

A special thanks to Snazzelfrag and ShotoJuku for keeping me inspired and always being there with that word of encouragement. Thanks to everyone who shared their experience, insights, and commitment to the goal with me.

My son became very ill last November ( he's improving every day-praise God for his mercy) and I wanted to quit, everyone said I should quit, except my hubbie, but this was a twenty-seven year dream and I knew it wouldn't help my son for me to quit. So everything slowed down, but I never stopped moving forward and I'm so glad I didn't.

Like Katterina, who completed her studies the day before me (congrats Kat), I too am the only one in my immediate family to complete a four year degree. I never could have done it without all your support. Thank you everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS Crystal! You have every right to be very proud of yourself for making it through, especially in light of the "obstacles" you faced along the way. What an inspiring story you have to share...

Be sure to celebrate in some special way...you have earned it!

Best of luck in your future endeavors,

Congratulations! It had to be especially difficult with a sick child. I'm sure it took amazing feats of concentration. My hat is off to you that you still managed to move forward with your studies.Smile
