Successful Semester
The spring semester has officially concluded, and I am proud to report that I made A’s for all nine semester hours that I took. I share this mainly to encourage other non-traditional graduate students that they, too, can succeed. Before the term started, I found myself browsing Reddit’s /r/gradschool subreddit and looking at several posts from other non-traditional students. They would share their uneasy feeling towards taking courses due to working full-time to support themselves and their families. Similarly, I started the program with the same feelings, but I persevered and learned how to succeed.
