I experienced a really debilitating mental illness about halfway through my program and there was a time when I really couldnā€™t see myself finishing the degree. This accomplishment is significant to my family, my friends, and me because it symbolizes recovery, perseverance, and drive - my ability to do hard things. During my challenges with mental health, this degree was grounding for me and it gave me a tangible goal to focus on and work towards achieving.

Her favorite thing about teaching is ā€œwatching the "light go on ā€” those ā€˜ahaā€™ moments with the students,ā€ she reports.
