Mission Accomplished! Master’s Degree? Check!

My husband was browsing through his computer yesterday and found this, my written statement for my Master's program application.

I grew up a major bookworm, getting new books every time I could get my hands on them. I would spend hours reading and at least three times a week my mom would have to come into my room, pull the book out my hand and tell me to go to bed.
