It Took Me 30 Years to Get a Degree

It took me 30 years to realize that traditional college classrooms just weren’t built for how I learn. After decades of starting and stopping, surviving three brutal years of law school, and ultimately walking away from a final exam feeling like a complete academic failure, I thought a diploma simply wasn't in the cards for me. Everything changed less than a year ago when I discovered Competency-Based Education (CBE). In this video, I’m sharing how finding a program tailored to my strengths allowed me to stop flailing, overcome severe test anxiety, and finish both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in under a year.
