Thank you! - klone - 08-22-2024
I want to start by expressing my gratitude to this community for everything. When I was 23 years old, serving in the Air Force and just coasting along, I stumbled upon this forum in early 2023. That discovery changed my life. Since then, I’ve earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Maine at Presque Isle, and as of this week, I’ve completed my Master of Business Administration from Eastern University. I never imagined I’d attend college, which is why I joined the Air Force after high school while my friends went off to university. Ironically, I now have a higher education than most of my peers, and I’m 100% debt-free thanks to the GI Bill. For anyone in a similar situation to where I was before finding this forum, just know that you can do it too.
