"Managing two responsibilities at once was never an easy balance. I faced lapses, made my share of mistakes, and often found myself exhausted on both ends. But through perseverance and a refusal to give up. I kept moving forward and eventually rose above the challenges. The greatest sacrifice was time and rest, yet the people l had at work and in school gave me the strength to continue.
Their support, patience, and understanding over the years meant more than I can fully express. To those who stayed and even to those who have left— thank you. I've learned so much from all of you. You've all been part of this journey, and in many ways, you became the source of my grit in reaching this beautiful milestone.
So to all working students— don't give up. Find your people, hold on to your "why’’ and keep pushing forward because if I made it through, so can you.
