Sharing this to hopefully inspire the current students with their path to a degree or the future visitors wondering if it is even possible. This forum continues to be a great value and I am grateful to all of the support through posts or direct messages. My degree was built from effort, resources and options like Straighterline. Today there was an email highlighting that my story was featured in the new May Straighterline Blog post. The piece touched me more than I had expected because it reminded me of how all the parts of this journey made it happen.

Thank You!!
5 kids can keep you busy for sure. My wife and I are very fortunate to be able to work from home and this aids in time management. My brother who has two kids still thinks that I am completely crazy! I would love to have one more but my wife said it's not going down!!!

Excellent!! Very cool that the story provided some inspiration. All of the stores I read assisted in inspiration for this project. As for the MBA, I am currently taking four courses at VESi that I will be transferring into Amberton University. Six of the credits are going towards the MBA program with the other six being used for my interest to have 18 focused credits on a topic to allow for teaching options if that is something of interest later in life. In an effort to speak it into existence, after the MBA program, I am going to enroll into the DBA program at California Southern University. Look forward to providing some updates in the months and years to come.
