Cool I'm in the paper!

Greetings all! Some of you may know that I recently graduated from Moorpark College. The local paper ran a nice story. If you are interested visit this link. For fellow forum members in college, I salute you!

Well Done!

I know from personal experience how hard it can be to be a mature student and be a full time mother.

May happiness and fulfilment always be with you.

That really is inspirational. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. That story could really help a lot of other people to believe that they can do things that seem out of reach.

Cool Gosh!

Thank you all for your cheery greetings! Teacher, I don't have kids. When my mother became ill, I was a mother to my mother. My folks would have been proud if they could have been there. It is never too late for education, if I hadn't taken classes, I would not have found our wonderful forum!

Admiralu, a great inspirational story. Congratulations.

I had the opportunity to use your story to encourage someone just stating out on their studies as an adult on another forum.

Best wishes,

Jeff

Cool How Sweet!

What a thoughtful gesture!! I hope it does help them out. The only limits are those you place upon yourself.
