Mom of Eight to Graduate with Engineering Degree (Don't Give up Your Dreams!)

[umsami]

Thought this might be inspirational to some.  I love the fact that her Dad pushed her.  It goes against some stereotypes of Muslim men (although Malala's Dad was the same.)

"Najat has eight kids ranging from 17 down to 8 years old.

She’s a working mom who decided to go back to school five years ago when her father came to visit from Morocco, where her entire family still live.

“When my dad came he told me, ‘where is your degree,’” Najat said.

That’s when she made the decision to go to school."

good for her.  dh's niece's high school boyfriend's mother - was doing her internship for medical school when her kids were in high school.  she was married, but they had paid down all their debt, and drover older cars which were cheaper to insure and license.

I still hope to go back one day - if I survive dudeling...

that is very encouraging.  I'm still struggling to get through to my AA.
