" You might like to know that in 2007, I too was a nontraditional student learning to juggle working full time, raising kids, and attending school on the weekends. I remember well the challenges of being in your shoes, and know those fears that creep into your thinking. I would like to offer my words of encouragement. It is truly never too late to go back to school. Hopes, dreams, and goals can be obtained at any age." - Lynn Smith
