I have reached the end, I have received confirmation today of degree approval of my BSL with Excelsior, I need to wait for conferral on July 17th.
It has been an amazing journey since February 2007, over a period of two years I took 47 tests (failed none) and I ended up with a 3.81 GPA on 48
graded credits. My minor is in Psychology.
This is a small miracle as I have nurtured a secret dream of having a college
degree all these years (many of them...)
I could not have done it without all your help and guidance and as I move on
to a possible Master's in Education I can foresee many doors open that were closed before.
I want to wish the board and Instantcert the best, I will make sure that my
story repeats with many others who do not know it can be done.
I miss studying (as crazy as it sounds!) and my routine is already messed up so I started studying for the MAT to enter graduate school.
For those of you on this road less traveled by.......
It is never too late, it is never too hard, it is never impossible, it is never worthless, it is never giving up!
If I could do it, so can YOU!
Best wishes and good luck!

Please share some more. It leads to home and help to those who may need it some days.
Your BSL is in what. You said a minor in Psych but what major?
What is your current career and where do you plan to go with your Masters in Education?
Great news and encouragement for all.
THANKS,
Judy

Great job!
I finished mine recently with an area in Psych as well. It seems like that subject is perfect for testing out of.
EC - BSLS Finally done!
Went from 86 to 120 credits in six weeks thanks to IC and the forum.
Currently doing MBA pre-reqs.
Now BSLS + 9 credits

Great job and congrats. I am starting to see the end of the tunnel and can't believe it might be a reality after 30 some years. Thanks for the inspiration.
