The Stretton's: May 2011

I started at San Juan College in the Fall of 2007. I was setting off to complete my degree to become a Certified Veterinary Technician... In February of 2008 we found out we were pregnant with Madi... I stuck very hard to my studies until she arrived in October... then I was just focused on being a good Mommy! I never quit... I just put it in slow gear! I took one to three classes per semester. Then school studies got even more backed up when we decited to have another baby! By the time Hannah arrived I was in my last semester of my upper level veterinary technology classes...wow! It seemed like it took forever!...after I completed all of my degree classes I realized that one of my English Classes from FLC did not transfer... I was so close! I enrolled in my final class! Advanced English Composition...this class was by far my hardest class yet! This professor was totally new to me...and she was really tough! I struggled with this class because I was now a Mommy of TWO sweet little ones who took up a lot of my time...(no complaints!), a full time Vet Tech...and I tried to be the best wife I could be! Thankfully... I rocked this class and ended up pulling an A!!! Yahoo!

I was so wrapped up in my kiddo's attending my graduation ceremony did not seem important to be... But I decited to go... I worked so hard for this degree and by-golly I am very proud of myself and I should be proud recieving my deploma! Walking accross that stage was a wonderful feeling! I completed a very challenging degree with Honors!

So two kiddos and 3 1/2 years later... I did it! ALL DONE! It feels great!

Dr. Wright....great professor! (tough too...)

Dr. Reed

Laura...totally gets the best professor award! She helped me get through all of my life changes and pregnancies....Laura was great! She encouraged me all the way through!

I didn't get a pic with Sherry! But she is awesome! And I appreciate EVERYTHING she did for me throughout the years!
