Excelsior Success Story - CLEP101 - 11-18-2009
So there I was at the doctor's office here in Korea complaining about my broken back. (messed up my back jumping from planes for 7 years)
The Doctor and I started talking (shooting the breeze) while he prescribed me my pain killers and I told him how I was getting my BS Degree from Excelsior.
He smiled and said, "you know I got my first degree in BS Liberal Arts from Excelsior" which he said motivated him to keep on going. He eventually went to medical school, graduated, joined the Army afterwards and is now giving me pain meds.
Thank you Excelsior for putting him and many, many others on the path to success.
Anyways, just thought I'd share that.
