Even though there wasn’t a strong supporting factor in place at the Air University, I did enjoy the hands-on approach to learning in addition to the professional atmosphere, but with…

My grandmother is the backbone behind this motivation because she was always making sure that academics came first in my life. There was rarely a day that I would come home and she would not ask me questions about my homework, asking what I learned in school, or even looked over my homework. As I got older, she made sure I was a part of a college prep program…
