As an older learner I am not doing this for the job really or anyone else I am doing for me. When I first started I just wanted to say i at least had an AA then I could say I was a college Graduate. As I went on I decided that was not enough i wanted the BA.
I did graduate in October ( AA degree completed in June) and attended the graduation ceremony at TESC. I can not tell you how great it felt to be in that cap and gown. To have my children be proud of me was great, but the pride I felt in myself was the best. So take the time you need and cool off then shake off that burn out and get back in there, because when you reach that goal you won't remember the burn out days just the fact that you made the finish line.
