After much will power and perseverance I completed my education after a long period of time. Working full time and taking my self through school (one part-time semesters at a time) showed to be a challenge, but not an imposible task. I graduated with an impecable record and very well rounded portfolio that displayed skills I learned through school and the working experience I had acquired up to that point. I am happy to say I was proud of my self.
