    Congratulations. Especially because you achieved it under the most difficult circumstances. Working and attending college classes is the toughest way to go; it takes guts and hard work to finish. Good for you.

    Congratulations! I agree with the comment of being intimidated by smart young people, And I'm 46, I have been attending college for three semesters now and it is harder to soak in the information than it used to be, for me. And the kids make learning look so easy.

    Congratulations! While I do not believe that "higher ed" is higher than other ed, like say, a plumber's apprenticship, I do believe it can transform a person depending on a myriad of circumstances. Anyway, I applaud your graduation and hope you continue to learn with humility.
