[SIZE="5"]The Answer is........THREE COLLEGE DEGREES!!![/SIZE]
[COLOR="Navy"]As of today, some three years and eight months after I started this crazy journey, I have completed three degrees in three separate disciplines proving to not only to myself that I was able to succeed academically but hopefully also inspiring others that they can too!
This has been an incredible experience and one that I could not have done without IC and all of the supportive members of our IC-Forums-Classroom - you guys are THE BEST!!
Although my own personal academic quest has come to a conclusion my involvement here as a moderator, friend, and mentor to the rest of our collective student classroom has not. I consider it my responsibility to continue to advise, assist, and otherwise support anyone I can in their own academic endeavors.
Thanks in advance for any kind words that may come my way and GOD BLESS you all!!!![/COLOR]

Congratulations Shoto,
You really have been an inspiration to me. I see how you put your mind to something and work hard and accomplish it. That has been a huge lesson for me, if I work hard I can do it, too. And little by little, I am getting it done. Congratulations again, Brian. You deserve it!
