Started in 1978 fresh out of Lancaster Catholic High School, my college degree was finally finished today. Raising kids -- seven to be exact -- and operating a few businesses got in the way of checking off that degree finished list item.
I always regretted not finishing. Two of the four years had been completed, but the last two were twice as hard. Especially since there were mortgages, car payments, and three kids in college to take care of.
However, it had to get done. I had to finish what I started to encourage my kids to do the same. In 2011, I returned to the George Mason University campus full time, and on December 19, 2013, I walked in the graduation ceremony -- with an honor chord!
