More than that, I was always embarrassed because I had dropped out of college. I didn't want to be a quitter. I selected Martin University because it allowed me to earn college credits for journalism skills I had already learned on the job. There were other reasons, too. I didn't want to go to college with kids.
Martin students are grown-ups with adult pressures who are seriously focused during classes.
I was also impressed by the quality of martin's faculty. Finally, my decision allowed me to associate myself with and to invest my money in a college with a social mandate, which I completely endorse. It took two years to get my degree. That time was among the most valuable and enriching experiences in my life.
