(P.S. Great timing too. I am feeling overwhelmed by all that life is demanding,, but I will not give up, I will try just one more test. Then maybe I can do just one more test, then just 2 more FEMA. Sometimes we need to break our plan down and appreciate each little step.)

Failing is not the falling down but the refusing to get up. You've gotten up all right! Thank you for detailing your story even though you didn't have to. Congratulations for a job well done.

That's life, Mapalo. We all have had things bog us down at times. Heck, I've been doing the on-again, off-again pursuit of my bachelors for years (sooooo close now) and more than once almost gave up (probably would have too without this forum)! The point is that you stuck with it, waded through the BS and crossed the finish line. Be proud for not giving up and of what you've accomplished. Go get yourself the adult beverage of your choice and celebrate! cheersmate

Your story is so inspiring. Thank you for having the courage to share it with us. I think we've all felt like giving up at some point (I know I certainly have - more than once) but it's through the sharing with others and support of others that we somehow make it through.

I could not be happier to read that you've accomplished your goal! And, now you're driven to get a second degree. You are on a roll - keep it going! :hurray:

Nice work. I also watched your progress (and subsequent disappearance) and therefore knew of some of your special challenges and problems. Your success is a great example of one of my favorite quotes. Congratulations!!!


[SIZE="4"]The Power of Persistence[/SIZE]

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent...
--Calvin Coolidge
