Keep it up, man! C170 isn't too bad. Somewhat redundant from C175. Fun with some more hands on.

Just got taskstream back for C170 on 10/3...it passed! I'm officially DONE!!! Thx to everyone who assisted and motivated me on this journey. Now it's time to decide whether I continue at WGU for masters or elsewhere.

Last Post on this thread...well, it's bitter sweet. Just spoke to my mentor and she is wrapping things up. I have to first give reverence and credit God for blessing me with the opportunity and mind to finish my degree. Thank you Jesus!!! Next, I have to give a shout out to my wife for the sacrifice of time, patience, and holding down the fort while I was in my zone. It's been a long time coming and for us having 3 kids and her allowing me to disconnect to focus on school, it's been amazing and I appreciate and love her to death. To the rest of my family, it's been a long time coming. My father passed away while I was in school back in 2002 and I promised him I would finish my degree. I got side tracked and life happened, but I can proudly say I have fulfilled my promise. Now, I'm going to take some time and figure out the right school to obtain my masters. Feel free to hit me up if any of you all need assistance...PEACE and God Bless!

Congrats man! I've been following this thread like a hawk because youre in the same circumstances as far as life and career and you were my most realistic role model. Hopefully starting in January and would like to finish 77 cu's in a year.

For everyone taking the course, is the information and resources given by the school enough to pass the certifications or would you say additional outside resources are necessary to pass them? Thanks!

Congrats!! I'm glad to hear that buddy

I endured a similar tragedy while in school so I can totally relate and I commend you for finishing strong and completing the journey!! Many blessings ahead. God is always with you he will never leave you or forsake you.
