Hello all I figured this deserved it's own thread instead of just in the daily check in. So I had a change in my life today; I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Healthcare Administration today. I also graduated summa cum laude!

When I think of where I was this time last year in and out of clinic's trying to find answers to what was going on and all the different medication trails and failures I am filled with so much happiness that I was able to fight and overcome something that was really hurting me; plus the bad job but we won't get into that.

This year I am stable; earned my degree, have an amazing job that makes me happy. Plus I think I have the best guy by my side. I've also learned to stop looking in the past but rather to my future.

I want to think everyone in this forum for being great friends; I value each and every one of you.

Congratulations for graduating and for sticking with it!

School life definitely has its ups and downs and it sounds like you also went through a lot during that time. Your perseverance has paid off. I hope you enjoy your graduation day and I wish you all the best in your career ahead.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments, I do feel proud of myself; sometimes I wondered if it was even possible but I kept working towards that goal.
