What is your favorite thing about SoPA?
The timing of the classes. You are able to work full-time and still attend class.
 
What advice would you give to someone who's considering finishing their degree, or starting for the first time as an adult?
In both cases, you are entering a new chapter of your life. Be aware of how that chapter fits into the larger story of your life. Plan ahead - know what you need to do in the next 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years to achieve your goals.
 
What is the best advice you've ever received?
"There is no easy way. There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline." - Jocko Willink
