Student Stories
I think for me working six days per week, 12 hours per day, was the most challenging part of this journey. It was long and stressful but I made it.
Two people have helped me and motivated me to become as successful as I am. One is my fiancée. She has pushed me forward when burnout began to set in. After staying up long nights producing features, and fixing bugs, drawing up documentation, she was always there making sure that I was still on track. The Second person that gives me the inspiration to move forward are my two little girls. I want to be able to provide for them and make sure they have the same opportunities that I have, to grow and further their education; to pursue their dreams in whatever way they choose. And to that end, I want to thank University Arkansas of Grantham for providing the infrastructure that made all of this possible.
[My instructor] Dr. Eugene Lloyd provided invaluable, timely, and relevant feedback to the courses with information applicable to the current environment.
