Student Stories
Earning my degree has been a journey of perseverance and determination. Balancing work, life, and studies was not easy, but I remained focused on my goal. There were times I felt overwhelmed, but I kept pushing forward, knowing that each step brought me closer to success. Late nights, early mornings, and countless sacrifices became part of the process. This achievement is a reminder that no matter how tough the road gets, dedication, hard work and perseverance will always lead to success!
I think for me working six days per week, 12 hours per day, was the most challenging part of this journey. It was long and stressful but I made it.
This is my third degree I have earned from Grantham, but one of the reasons I have returned for my education is because not only one person has been helpful through hard times, but the school culture is set up for real people who have a lot to deal with and simultaneously want to earn a degree. I live in the upstate of South Carolina, and in September of 2024, SC and Western NC were wiped out (no power, internet, for 2 weeks, and gas shortages).I was so thankful that while I was picking up the pieces, I did not have to worry about being kicked out of school. This, among other things, can bring you down, but when you have a great school and support system, it brings resilience.
