Now that I have my adult college degree, how has my life changed?

First and foremost, my mother is truly proud of me for the first time since I made the honor roll in High School!

I have raised two amazing daughters on my own since they were 4 and 1 ½ years old, I bought a home and have been a community volunteer and leader for some fifteen plus years; yet it took my mother all these years until she saw the words, “Summa Cum Laude,” printed next to my name for her to at least express her pride in me. I have to admit, it does feel good.

Today the President of my company pulled me into his office and said he wanted to work with me on my career aspirations and asked me to think about what it was I wanted to do at his company. He said he would sit down with me again in a couple of weeks to discuss my options because he recognized my commitment and obvious ambition in the attainment of my degree.

I just graduated a couple of weeks ago and already it has greatly affected my life and how others view my value. Are you presently undervalued by those in your life? If so, think about taking the same path as I, attainment of your adult college degree at Granite State College.
