“I never had the chance to go to college right out of high school. Before I knew it, I was 10 years into my career but I always felt that there was a void that needed to be filled. Grand Canyon University listened and gave me the opportunity to pursue my college education. I am now excelling in all of my classes and have made the Dean’s List for the first time in my life. If it was not for Grand Canyon University, I would still not have realized my purpose. Thank you to my GCU family!”
