Hi! I took my Civil war and Reconstruction on Friday and recieved a 60. I was so excited. This is it! After 69 credits of dantes and cleps I am done!! I just want to say, I could not have done it without IC and everyone here. It is just so great that people are willing to help other people to succeed. I have never been around a greater group of people! If I ever got discouraged, I would just come here. The positive attitudes of the people here just shine. I do not have much to add on the Civil war test than what is in the feedback, but I will post a little. All I want to say to everyone is if you want something bad enough, YOU CAN DO IT! I was a stay at home mom for 24 years and had 8 children. They are very successful, so I thought I would try my hand at college too. So, in May at the age of 55, I will be a college graduate and a teacher. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!! Good luck to everyone and THANK YOU!!!!!hilarious hilarious

Kudos props and accolades for going back to finish school after raising 8 successful children. You're an inspiration and you'll be a great teacher.

I was just wanting to solicit a few second opinions about an idea I've got. I've currently got a BSBA in CIS from TESC and am working on a MS in MIS from University of Illinois - Springfield. I've also got 20 some odd credits in Accounting wrapped up in a certificate from Tidewater Community College. I've been thinking about enrolling at Excelsior, taking a few upper level Accounting classes from LSU / Excelsior and wrapping up a second BS in Accounting. My reason for doing this is added flexibility in the market place, as well as my desire to get into business analysis versus the current infrastructure support path I'm on now. Am I missing something that doesn't make this sound like a good idea?
I m edumakated thanx to distunce lerning.
