I totally agree with you on noticing some of our classmates returning to school after 10 plus years. I left CSU in my junior year and did not return to school for 20 plus years. I left school after the death of my mother and suffered depression for many years. My aunt who is a retired educator tried to motivate and encourage me to continue my education. Only recently did I find my own courage to believe that I could return back to school and work toward my bachelor's degree. I believe my life struggles is a big part of my motivation to achieve my educational goals.
