OK, time to brag a little. Last night was my little girls graduation for her Associate in Arts degree. She has worked very hard and achieved this while still in high school (graduated both in the last two weeks). In addition to graduating Summa Cum Laude (with highest academic honors), She also earned an academic prize for maintaining a 4.0 throughout her studies, pretty select group as only a handful of students earned the distinction. The award includes a small cash scholarship.
While studying her dual enrollment classes like English Comp, Chemistry, and French, she also took and passed 10 CLEP/DSST exams such as Biology, Algebra, American Lit with essay, and American Government. She earned the FEMA PDS as well, though it didn't count for credit at her school.
Last night was really one of life's highlights. Delightful girl with great promise, she makes me very proud to be her Dad!

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Congrats! It is times like this that we, as parents, can sit back and realize that maybe we didn't do bad in raising them. Sometimes I think our kids turned out decent...in spite of us! You have helped her to learn the value of a good worth ethic and the value of hard work, something sorely lacking in a lot of young people these days. This will allow her to be successful in the future. I hope she takes some time off to relax and do a little shopping with her money and enjoy her accomplishments. Mom and Dad can celebrate with something refreshing to drink, knowing they have laid a solid foundation for her future. Congrats to you all!
