Crystal W. - Kansas 20+

Speaker: Crystal W.

Crystal W.: I quit school and made some bad decisions, and then I made some good decisions and, I'm 30 years old now and I just graduated, well, I just got my diploma and the reason why I did it was because I have five kids now and my oldest is about to graduate next year, and I wanted her to be just as proud of me as I'm about to be of her knowing that her mom finished high school, and I can say that and the rest of my kids, I can tell them, each and every one of them, if I did it, you can do it too.

Crystal W.: I chose this program because when I went online, I was looking for something that wasn't going to cost me a lot of money because I am a mom of five and this one was free and it sounded awesome and amazing that I would be able to pick up right where I left off.

Crystal W.: The part of the program that helped me to make it to graduation, I would say is that I was able to go at my own pace. I wanted to be able to get it done quickly so that I could get it done before my daughter graduates next year, so I was able to go fast, and I'm really glad that you're able to go at your own pace.

Crystal W.: I can say that my life has changed and my mindset has changed a lot because I am so proud of myself for going back to school at the age of 30 and getting my diploma. Now that I have graduated, I do plan on furthering my career and going to school to become a teacher, and I'm just one step closer to being able to do that.

Crystal W.: A piece of encouragement I would give to someone who is considering this program is that. You can do it. I am a married mother of five, 30 years old, just finished and it is truly rewarding. You can do it.
