Here’s a cleaned-up version that keeps your excitement and sounds like you:
Family, I got a pretty awesome surprise the other day!
My Associate Degree in Information Technology and AI showed up, and I honestly never saw it coming. I’m already only five classes away from finishing my bachelor’s degree, and I can knock one of those classes out through Sophia, which will leave me with just four classes to go.
After this 10-week term, I’ll have a two-week break, and I’m planning to use that time to knock out that Sophia class and get even closer to the finish line.
This degree means more to me than just a piece of paper. I’ve had 23 years of hands-on computer and IT experience, but today, especially when you’re trying to get into the bigger companies and buildings downtown, experience alone isn’t always enough. They want to see the credentials on paper.
Now I officially have those IT credentials to go along with the knowledge and experience I’ve built over the years.
It’s only my associate degree on the way to my bachelor’s, but I’m proud of it. I never expected to be going down this road, but here I am—five classes away from a bachelor’s degree.
I just wanted to share it with you guys. ❤️
If you want, I can also make it more emotional and proud, like a big Facebook family announcement.
