I am finally graduating with my Associate of Science degree this Friday!!!! And it's only taken me 4 years of night school. Yikes. I just want to put it out there - that if you are thinking of going to school - do it! I work full time in a stressful job and have a dh & home to care for (the kids are grown). It wasn't always easy but it was so rewarding. I don't know if I'll continue on.. cuz I have so many other goals, but never stop learning and never stop growing. It is so worth the effort.

Good for you, Debbie! Hearty and heartfelt congratulations!!! :D I work in a community college and I see first hand what hard work it is for adults to go back and complete a degree. It takes a lot of determination and strength of will.

Congrats Debbie!! I am graduating in August and I know how hard you have worked!! That is awesome. BIG ((HUGS)) and a Yee-Haw for you!!! You are a real inspiration for me to keep going!!!
Congratulations! Such courage! I greatly admire anyone who can dedicate themselves to going back to school (I haven't yet). I'm sure it's been difficulty at times, but now you can sit back and be WELL proud of yourself!
