When I was younger I always wanted to go to Baylor. Alas I went to Troy and Belmont.

I failed all my classes my first year and dropped out. I joined the Army in 2003 and had an amazing leader take me under his wing and help me get started with online classes and I have taken classes every year since 2005. I've earned my Associate's Degree in Social Sciences, and I'm 4 classes away from my Bachelor's in History but I've also earned enough credit to have an associates degree in both History and Military Operations.

It's interesting that you mention problem solving because I consider myself a problem solver. That's why I hate when my wife brings me a problem because I have to solve it.
