💯

So, 3 years ago, I started a Clinical Research degree program (Associates of Applied Science). Yesterday (May 20, 2026), I walked for my graduation ceremony. This upcoming summer semester… I’m going to be starting an internship.

I never thought I’d ever go back to school (I already have a BA, but things didn’t work out considering how low my GPA was for my pre-diagnosis bachelors degree), let alone attend a second graduation ceremony… yesterday, I graduated with honors.

I got help for my ADHD and got on a treatment plan/regular therapy in 2021. I never thought I’d be any good at school. And it’s hitting me today, a full 24 hours after walking for graduation yesterday… I never truly thought I’d be actually able to do it. Like most things in life, I figured I’d give up on it at some point in time or another... Until I actually did it, one class at a time, one assignment and project at a time. One day at a time.

So… yeah. Just wanted to share.

I went from barely being able to graduate college, to having nearly a 4.0 GPA, and graduating with honors. It’s never too late to try again… I hope my little (true) story helps someone out there.
