After Wayne State reached out to me to tell me I had enough credits to receive an associate degree, I saw this as a steppingstone to what I would like to do next. The thought of going back to college and finishing my degree, even after six years has gone by, had always been in the back of my mind and this opportunity opened a new door and resurfaced that for me! I’m excited to see where this next chapter takes me, even now as a mom of two!

I almost lost hope of getting my degree, thinking my credits would expire. At the time, I was pregnant and unsure if school would ever be an accomplishment. However, one day in the mail I received a letter saying I was able to get my associate degree for all the hard work I thought had disappeared. I am so blessed and happy. Now I have my kid, who turned 4 months old on graduation day, and I plan to continue my education with the foundation laid by Wayne State College. My goal is to become an ultrasound technician. Thank you, Wayne State, for giving me hope.
