In December I can officially move thing goal to the I’ve done this list! This is not an easy task….
How to put myself through college
It made me
Proud 
"It makes it worth more valuable to me because I did it on my own."
How I did it: I had a late start: didn't have the option, resources, or finances to jump into college fresh out of high school.
Once I did start, I had to do things part time. Sometimes I would take 1-2 courses and work 2-3 jobs at a time. Sometimes I would take up to 6 courses (I would get fits of motivation to get it over with) and still work full-time (definitely affected my grades).
I had to make a degree change half-way through, and this cost me time and money. I was able to avoid student loans up til the last year and a half, but then course work, internships, and student training demanded more of my work schedule.
I accomplished getting my Bachelor's degree, and I can say with pride that I did it on my own. :o)
Lessons & tips: Stay involved in your academic plan- be diligent: the college will not tell you if you don't have to take a class towards your degree. For them it is a business, and the more classes, whether required or not, the more money they get.
