I decided to go back to college after I had been out from high school for quite some years. I  wanted to succeed and graduate with honors. I have finished college with a master’s degree in business administration in Finance with a GPA of 3.96. I proved myself and others that I have earned a degree at the age of 54. I have set an example to my children that if I could do it, they can do it too!  

I am not saying it was easy, if I had not study hard enough and dedicated my time and effort on my studies, I  wouldn’t have finished my degree. I have changed ever since because now I can communicate better and excel in many topics. I have learned to love reading and listening to audio books to improve myself as well.  I haven't finished learning, now at my age of 61, I am still educating myself. Never quit, while you are still breathing you will learn many things in life.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
