There were so many setbacks, but I never once doubted that I would be able to finish it.

There were times that I cried because I was so tired, or so broke, but that didn't stop me.

All the nights at class, all the weekends given up to homework.

528 drives to New Orleans.

~59,000 miles on my truck

Three and a half years of my life dedicated to my education

An uncounted number of Red Bull drinks

Twelve years of trying
     8 of which were spent in the Army
     1 of which was spent in the Middle East

$70K in debt

And even after all of that, I never once thought I couldn't do it.

If you are reading this, and you have a dream, let me stand here as proof to you today, that if you can dream it, you CAN do it.

All it takes is some dedication, a strong desire to succeed, and never giving up.

No one ever said it was going to be easy.  And it wasn't.

No one ever said it was going to be free, and it sure as hell wasn't.

But now that it's all finished, I can honestly say


It was worth it all

Thank you Lord, for letting me do this
Thank you to my friends, and family, by sticking by me through it all
