First off, I can't express enough how truly thankful I am to this amazing forum and to the wonderful members that took the time needed in order to help when I was confused. Everyone here is so awesome!
With that said, I have found out that I graduated from TESU with a 4.0! For some background information, I have ADHD and struggled tremendously with school when I was younger. I was considered a failure by some teachers that they believed wouldn't ever survive college. Not only that, no one on my Dad's side of the family have ever made it through college. Looks like that has all changed, and it took help from this wonderful community and working my tail off in between every call that I received at work.
For those of you just like me and are taking this route -- KEEP AT IT. Whatever it takes to stay focused, you do it. The feeling you get once you have confirmation that it is all over and you have earned your degree is truly freeing. I want to scream from the top of a mountain! You all can do this. If I can do this, you all sure as hell can!
I'm sure some will find this post to be a waste of time, but I just wanted to post some optimism for those who may have experienced a similar life where some didn't believe in you.

Great news. Well done. it's especially impressive because, between ADHD and a side of your family that doesn't have a history of college accomplishments, you were swimming upstream.
