Thanks for the congrats, everyone!

Rita is doing very well. I kind of forgot to mention the tests she's been taking. I can't remember which ones I've let y'all know about and which I've forgotten to mention. So, since March, she's passed:

English Composition CLEP
Humanities CLEP
English Literature CLEP
Social Sciences/History CLEP
Western Civ I CLEP
Western Civ II CLEP
College Mathematics CLEP
Biology CLEP
Natural Sciences CLEP
US History I CLEP
US History II CLEP
Psychology CLEP
Civil War and Reconstruction DANTES
Analysis and Interpretation of Lit CLEP
Intro. to Educational Psychology CLEP
Developmental Psychology CLEP
Sociology CLEP

And about 21 FEMA credits.

She currently has 102 credits and she's actually taking Micro and Macro Economics this morning. Assuming that she passes these, all that she'll have left is three Dantes tests,

Intro to World Religions
Ethics in America
Drug and Alcohol Abuse

and either three FEMA credits or some other CLEP to finish off her free electives.

TESC actually admitted her to the college despite her being only 18 years old (normally they only let adults, 21+ enter). Why? Because by having 60+ college credits already she has "proven" that she can do college-level work.

So, she should have it all completed well before the baby arrives in March. :-D

It's so AWESOME that you both are able to get your degrees this way. I don't know why more young people don't take advantage of this opportunity.

Well done BOTH of you!
