It was feeling inferior and insecure around the educated that drove me to pursue it in the first place... now that I'm 'in the club' I'm glad I did it but for other reasons. :)<br />kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201064701178458053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679501608140375261.post-16796246493967912322012-11-17T16:07:37.464-07:002012-11-17T16:07:37.464-07:00Camille ... so you have already started.

She also knew that the traditional college route of going to classes everyday would not work with life/work so she attended an online accredited university called Western Governors University.
