Farmerboy,
Please forgive my late response. The Biology course at Excelsior has been keeping me busy. I want to say congratulations on getting your college degree before your HS Diploma. At 17, you have many of us here looking up to you. I guess you can say that your success is what is driving some of us to take that extra initiative and complete our degree as well. Again, congratulations and best of luck in your internship. Hope to be in your shoes here pretty soon.

out of curiosity, what motivated you to start on your degree before you were finished with high school? I'd like to share your story with my son, who's a senior, but need more details.

Thanks, and congratulations again on your accomlishment.

Big Congrats~

What are your future plans? Do you plan to Master or PhD?

Also, beyond the Bachelors from one of the big three do the Universities accept these degree's or will you have to pursue your education by another means?


You have a very inspirational story to tell!

Wow!
