In Just. Four Weeks.
I will have an adult child by legal standards in exactly 30 days. I keep reminding her, that as long as she lives in my household and as long as I live she will respect me as her mother. Her future husband, kids, colleagues and circle of friends will as well.
Or else...!!!

A Thankful Thursday.
Around this time last year, I was concerned whether or not I'd successfully complete my final semester at CSUDH. My motivation was very low and my eldest daughter was attempting some unnecessary teen antics, which made it quite difficult for me to concentrate on my schoolwork.
I dropped one class 1-week after the semester began. Due to dealing with a family emergency I missed taking two class finals at the end of the semester. Fortunately, I had done well throughout the entire semester in those two classes so I still passed each.
It's really amazing thinking about all of the wonderful "things" GOD does in my life. Some professors wont pass a student if they miss the final exam regardless of how well they scored on assignments during the semester. Only GODs GRACE allowed me to earn an A in one course and a B in the other. I'm so grateful for having professors who had compassion for my family's circumstance and for not penalizing me when they had the power to.
Today, I finally picked up my degree (diploma). I did fulfill the necessary academic requirements to earn my bachelor's, but I owed a debt to my school. It's funny and not, that I just let "it" sit there in a file cabinet inside CSUDHs Office of Records and Admissions for almost a year. I figured it'd be safe there until I got to "it." Shaking my head and laughing out loud simultaneously!
No one can take my knowledge and education away from me. I will need the "official document" for some reason or another in the future, right? Who knows? HE does!!!
My document cost me $694 because I dropped that one class. I fell 1-unit below full-time status and was penalized by my school for doing so. Rules are rules, but come on all ready. I just THANK GOD for making a way financially so that "I can" now have what's rightfully mine in my possession.
I do. It's not so much the earned document that matters. It's the steps involved and the lessons learned on a chosen path in order to accomplish a goal:
The ten bullet points above are only some "things" to consider when in personal pursuit of obtaining "official documents" that validates an earned accreditation.

Got credentials?
I do. It's not so much the earned document that matters. It's the steps involved and the lessons learned on a chosen path in order to accomplish a goal:
- Deciding "to do" something.
- Discovering how to do "it."
- Being proactive by taking the first step.
- Following up.
- Following through.
- Overcoming challenges.
- Believing in oneself.
- Maintaining motivation.
- Remaining receptive.
- Keeping goals in clear view.
