Hello,
I graduated from undergrad in 2013 and immediately started working. I had always thought to go back to school for my Masters but I am not a great Standardized Test taker, so I decided to wait.
I found an amazing school that will help me achieve my goal of getting my MA in English, all while doing it online and from the comfort of my home when I am off work.
For me, being able to have a low debt when I get out of my Master's would be amazing and would be the most helpful so that I can potentially go on to my PhD.
I am a Jack of All Trades type of person:

I have always been afraid of heights ever since I was in Middle School. I was offered a "once in a lifetime" chance to go Zip-Lining in Las Vegas with my boss, his wife, and another co-worker in April of 2017. I was terrified all the way up the huge canyon but once I went the first time I was amazed how fun it actually was!
