I wasn&#8217;t sure if I could fit it into my regular life, where I&#8217;m married and work a full-time job. But I heard about EOU&#8217;s online program through a friend, and thought that kind of program could work for me. I started off with one class, and I&#8217;ve continued taking one class per quarter and chipping away at that degree. It&#8217;s taken me five years, but I&#8217;m really proud of myself for not giving up and continuing with my classes. I&#8217;m signed up for my final class this fall, which I&#8217;ll take during my maternity leave. I can&#8217;t wait to check off that final box. I&#8217;m so grateful that EOU offered a program like this, where I could learn so much, and also fit my degree into an already busy life.
