At 37 years old, I officially graduated from Pellissippi State Community College with an Associate of Applied Science in Media Technologies, graduating Cum Laude.
This video isn’t about bragging. It’s about reflection.
Going back to college later in life while balancing a full-time career, marriage, kids, YouTube, ham radio, ministry work, and everyday life wasn’t easy. There were late nights, exhaustion, stress, deadlines, and moments I questioned whether it was even worth it.
But I kept going.
In this video, I talk honestly about:
Why I decided to go back to school
The challenges of being an older college student
Balancing family, work, and content creation
What I learned during the process
Why it’s never too late to improve yourself
Advice for anyone thinking about going back to school
If you’ve ever felt behind in life, this one’s for you.
