I want to say thank you to everyone on this forum. I have been lurking around here for about 4 to 5 years keeping up with all the education news/colleges/Ace credits. I've done a couple of the free ones mentioned over the years Institutes/Study.com-Principles of finance and the 1 credit free courses on Sophia. I'm in the Navy working as an Culinary Specialist. After procrastination and self-doubt I decided to take initiative during a 2 month down period from March to April and knocked out 20 Sophia courses all while taking care of my family and working. I applied all the Sophia credits, my JST, and 1 letter grade class I've done at Saint Leo University, in which I earned an A, to an Pierpont Board of Governors AAS degree and will be graduating on August 6th with a 4.0 GPA and Emphasis in Business. I will continue on to my Bachelors after I knock out a few more Sophia courses and more than likely apply to UMPI YourPace program. I am always telling my junior sailors, friends, and family about this forum and Sophia.org, especially. I would like to thank everyone in this forum for the help/advice and I will pay it forward myself.
