Career goals: As an Air Force veteran, I had to delay completing my BS degree until after 20 years of service. I was awarded a sc holarship within the company I work for and have been steadily working towards completing the degree requirements for graduation. My goal is to finally achieve this elusive dream and graduate (hopefully with honors since I have a 3.719 GPA right now. I made the UMUC Dean's list for three years straight and was inducted into the UMUC Honor's Society this past spring (2008). Each class presents new challenges and new learning experiences. Learning the online way is difficult for courses like this one but achievable with good instruction, adequate time for comprehension and practice on the UMUC computing resources and or personal computing resources. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am excited with the prospects of graduation in a few months.
