BA '95
I always intended on getting a degree. My parents didn't have a degree, nor my brothers. I was actually the first one to get a college degree, so I just thought it was a necessity. When I went back to school at night, the good thing about it was I went back to school with other people of my own age. We were all struggling because we had jobs, we had families, and we were trying to get an education. CCNY provided that perfect backdrop for us. It was the most beautiful place to be.
