Well, better late than never. I have spent the last ~125 weeks wrapping up loose ends by completing a college degree that began many years ago. About 600 pages of essays later, and countless hours of reviewing research papers, my labors have culminated in a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University.
This was probably one of the hardest things I have done in my life. More than anything, overcoming my self-imposed mental and emotional challenges far exceeded the academic rigors required. I had to find an additional 30 hours in an already busy week to commit to my studies, all of which came at the expense of sacrifices to time with my daughter. This was my greatest frustration. I will be grateful to have my weekends back, and precious time to spend with her.
Most importantly, I have persevered and finally reached the finish line, though there were many times when I thought it would never come. In doing so, I have set an example for my daughter about the importance of an education, and further that rewards come with hard work and determination.
Just wanted to share this achievement with you all, and reassure you that its never too late.
Best,
Loren
