Roll call?

[bricabrac]

I'm still here just after the two year mark and completing undergrad degrees to hopefully give back, if only a small amount, of the support that was given to me. Without the help of IC and knowledgeable forum members I would not have accomplished so much in so little time. I am the first non-traditional degree earner in my family (all of my siblings have undergrad/advanced degrees). I will have earned all four undergrad and my masters for less money than any of my siblings' undergrad degrees. Of course, I do not have the same brand name attached to my degrees.

I try to lend TESC students insight through academic policy. And, try to steer fellow students safely and efficiently over the finish line; whether by supplying contacts, support or just a push in the right direction. I try to check in every day or so but will not be around as much soon because I will be tied up with business and grad studies! I feel this board is very helpful not only to those formally earning degrees, but also to those who are just serial learners and want to associate with those of like minds. I am definitely the latter and if I pick up multiple degrees along the way, so be it.

I have always and will always be a student of life. What was said over and over in my household while growing was "when you stop searching for knowledge or have nothing left to learn, you have stopped breathing."
