Has it Been Long Enough?

I am SO thrilled (and relieved) to be back at AM! I withdrew last April after my dad was diagnosed with a rare type of tumor. He underwent a long and complicated surgery on September 10th, and thankfully everything went extremely well. He's recovering at home now, and life is slowly getting back to normal. It was up in the air for a long time whether I'd be coming back to AM, because things like this tend to throw life and finances for a loop. This whole thing made me realize that nothing should stop you from trying to reach a goal, no matter how difficult the obstacle you have to overcome.

I really owe a huge thank you to the AM staff for their support and understanding. It's truly a blessing to have a school that treats you like flesh and blood. It's ironic that I felt the traditional campus life was so impersonal, and then I come to an online school that treats everyone like family. Go AM!
