Online Student Interview: Jennifer
"…I think that as an adult, my 'time' for earning my degree was back when I was 18. I can't pretend that I'm a 20-something student."
Jennifer is very familiar with academia and education. She teaches at a college and homeschools her four children. She knew that she wanted to earn a master's degree, but graduate school is not within reach without a bachelor's degree.
"I looked at the bachelors only as a means to earning my masters … Once I decided where I wanted to end up, I started building a plan on how to get there."
