One Year of My Life!
#1
Hi All,

It is almost one year to the day since I took my first nervous step on this journey. Now, one year later, I have taken 40 exams, earned 133 credits, and am 30 credits shy of earning two degrees.

I thought I would take a moment to reflect on all the exams I have taken over the last year of my life. It has been a year of laughter and tears for me, but I am proud of all that I have accomplished in such a short time.

It is my hope that the following list will serve as not only a celebration of a year in my life, but as an encouragement to others, and an incentive to reach for the stars. It can be done!

One Year of My Life!

Thank you to ALL my friends who have walked with me along the way. You have inspired me greatly, encouraged me often, advised me regularly, and taught me much.

I'm not quite finished yet! But the end is in sight, and I will value your continued support and encouragement in this next year, just as I valued it in the last.

May all your dreams come true, and all your stars be reached!

Your friend and classmate,

Snazz,
Your year is certainly a benchmark for the rest of us to emulate. Great Job! I'm sure the next year will culminate with you receiving BOTH of your degrees. Lee
