I finally made it through college. I married 17 years ago and I was taking nursing. Well After having a kid, working full time and trying to go to school I found out the day before graduation that I had missed graduation by 1 point. I quit and know 15 years later I decided to give it another try. This time I went with Business because me current job will help with the cost of the classes. My Son is at a very difficult age and says that it is not a real school. I am attending Southern Columbia University. My husband doesn’t seem to care either. Today I took my last test I am awaiting the grade. It was the last one to my associates in Business. I don’t know if it is worth even mentioning to the family. If it is just an online class or if they really don’t care. I had all A’s and B’s. I should be happy but my fear is that no one else will care that I have completed this. Do I wait for the degree another 6-8 weeks to show up? Do I bring it up know? Or way I wrong to think that an on-line school meant something in the first place? Not trying to be a downer but I am afraid that if they ACT like they don’t care I will really get hurt. I should be happy but just scared that no one will CARE. MY parents are only into what my little sister does so they will say great and change subject back to her. I just need advise. IS this a true degree?














Yes, this is a true degree. I’m concerned, though, that you seek the acknowledgment of your achievements through others. You did a great thing: you achieved your goal. If no one else is happy for you, I can assure you that I am, a total stranger. I would certainly celebrate my achievement… I think it calls for a nice dinner out.
