I'm done - thanks to all! - agmclsls - 12-18-2012
I would be remiss if I didn't post a thank you to all forum posters/members. I (re)started my educational journey this year AFTER stumbling upon this forum. For 20+ years, I had so many regrets over not staying in college. Every year I would think to myself "this is the year I go back". But then a demanding full-time job and then a family with children derailed that thought every time it came to my mind.
Back to my thanks. I absolutely would NOT have gone back to college if it wasn't for the knowledge and advice shared by all. Besides the information, you were also a great motivating factor for me. When life and studying became too overwhelming, I would open up the forum and back to the books I went.
My story:
Started with 6 b&m credits from a long time ago. Joined IC in May '12. With a combination of FEMA, Aleks, Straighterline, ECE, Penn Foster, DSST, CLEP, and one class from TESC, I PASSED my last two DSSTs this morning and will be submitting my graduation paperwork on Friday! I would not have known about the other ways to earn credit if it wasn't for this forum. Did I already say thanks?! I also wasn't planning to complete by end of December but once it appeared to be within my grasp, I just went for it by studying for many hours a day.
Today was the most difficult day of my journey but it was worth it. I saved the hardest DSSTs for last (my advice, don't do that!). I went back to back this morning starting with Money and Banking and then after a 5 minute break, started on Business Law II. The M&B didn't go off without a hitch as my test crashed after my first question and was only fixed two hours later so my resolve and nerves were tested even before I started.
I'm going to let my (fried) brain rest for a day or two and then I will start thinking about Grad School...... As my son would say "you guys rock". (this forum rocks too!)

Thanks for the kind words. In case there were other "lurkers" out there like me reading these forums for advice and guidance, I wanted to let them know that they CAN do this too!! This forum has been a wealth of information......

This site is a great resource even if you do not post. I read quite a few posts as a lurker before chiming in with a well-researched question. Great job.
