Commencement Speaker!

No that's not me pictured in the video but guess what, I am in the video! I was honored to speak at my commencement ceremony. It took place in September 2014. Yes I know, I'm a little late blogging about it. I had all the good intentions in the world to keep up my blog but as usual life got in the way. Anyways I am here now chatting about it. I guess it is better late than never. It was an amazing experience to finally take the walk and speaking was the icing on the cake. It you want to watch my speech it takes place from 47:26 to 52:45. I hope if you watch my speech you are encouraged and motivated. My degree did change my life and I am grateful!

There I am speaking!

Yes that is my husband with me!

My Journey

October 1st, 2010, the day before my 42nd birthday, I began my journey to become a teacher.

After exhausting all hope of earning a degree, an answer to a prayer was bestowed upon me. The state of Indiana had a new school for people like me. I couldn't believe it! It all seemed too good to be true. I could work at my own pace, attend online and wouldn't go broke doing it. I had to find out more.

I called the WGU Indiana admitting department, and bombarded them with an exuberant amount of questions. After giving the admission department the third degree, I knew WGU Indiana was for me. The next day I registered, and after a whirlwind of transcripts, pre-admission testing, FASFA forms and more it was finished. I was a student on my way to fulfilling my dreams of becoming a teacher.
