Some may feel that these diplomas don't really prove a thing, other than I went back to school and accomplished what I should have long before I did. But, if you look at it from my prospective, it's something that many said was impossible for me to do. Therefore, I'm extremely proud of them and the work it took to get them. They are in many ways, my pride and joy from the day I got them. And if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't change a thing. They are, after all, accomplishments that were thought to be impossible for me.

Though I did accomplish these goals late in life, they are something to be proud of for all intense purposes. Yeah, I admit, I should have stuck it out as a teenager and completed them then, but as the saying goes, "Better late, then never!".
