Today is my graduation day - I FINALLY finished my bachelor's degree in accounting. I say FINALLY in all caps because it has been quite the journey, or a I like to say, "I took the scenic route". I finished high school a year early, ended up getting married at 17, and had my first child at 18. I stayed in school and finished my AA in Spanish by the age of 20, right on schedule. Then I transfered to the Universtity of Nevada, Reno. I ended up getting divorced and became a single mom going to school. I then remarried and had 3 more kiddos. So today, 17 years after I graduated high school, I finally finished my degree!
