Probably wasn’t the smartest idea to try to earn two degrees at the same time, but all things worked together for good in the end. Thankful again for the love and support of my wife, family, cooperating teachers, College of Charleston classmates and professors, without whom none of this would have been possible. We did it! Master of Education in Languages! Congrats to all the graduates today!
