“As a mother and over 35 years old I was nervous to go back to school, but it was something I truly wanted to do. I enrolled into college right after high school in 2003 and in 2005 I became a mother. I had no family support, so I had to quit school and work full time to care for my daughter. I have tried to return to school throughout the years but have had no luck due to my work schedule. During the beginning of Covid I took advantage of all schools going online, so I started searching for a school that would work with my family structure and job. A recruiter from Everglades University called me and we talked for hours like we were best friends! She made my decision so easy and helped me through the whole enrollment process. What made it so easy was she respected and honored my callback hours due to my kids schooling being online and I had to be accessible to help when needed. She honored my motherly duties and respected my sleep routine for work. My advisor, Max, was the BEST! He kept all of his academic appointments and he would even make random calls and encouraged me not to give up. During the time my brother died, and I had a major procedure he noticed my grades were dropping and I wasn’t logging on as I should. Max reached out with concern, and he helped me so I would not fail and for that he will always be appreciated for his sincere concern for his students.”
