Dropped out at 20 because life happened. Always regretted it. Wife encouraged me to finish while working full time and being a dad of three. Took 6 years of nights and weekends but I walked across that stage last month. My kids saw me graduate which honestly meant more than the degree. I'm not the same guy who gave up. I'm the guy who figured out how to get it done no matter what.
This is the kind of example your kids will remember forever. You didn't just get a degree, you showed them that it's never too late to chase something. Congrats on finishing.
That's incredible man, seriously. Doing that while raising three kids and working? Your wife was right to push you but YOU did the work. Six years of grinding it out, that takes real commitment.
What field did you finish in? I'm curious how this changes things for you going forward.
This is incredible. Finishing at 38 while working and raising kids is serious commitment. Your kids are watching you show them that it's never too late to do something that matters.

Your wife sounds amazing for encouraging you to push through. That support makes all the difference. Congrats on the degree man, that's a huge W.
