My 17-year-old daughter received notice from college that all of her credits have been transferred in and after this semester, she will have just one course remaining in her quest for a B.A. in Psychology. Yep, we are doing the Happy Dance around here.
Her journey began at the end of 7th grade when I dove head first into leading a study group for her and her friends and brother. Not having a clue, I followed someone who had gone before me. THANK YOU AGAIN Tricia McQ! That was five years and 117 Credits ago. Since then my daughter has been diligent in her work, clear in her goals and willing to venture off the beaten path.
I hope to encourage you with this post … debt and college degree do not have to be synonymous. Debt can be a dream killer. Learn your options and decide if earning college credits in high school via CLEP, DSST and PSEO is right for your students.
What a wonderful feather in Kate’s cap to be able to achieve all of this while still in high school and without college debt. There’s no telling where she will go next!
