MightyMouse Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi all,some of you may recall that I took a very long exam (5 hours) on Nov 22...well...yesterday my paperwork came in the mail and I'm now a "Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst" (BCABA). Now I have to go out tomorrow on my lunch hour to buy a frame for my pretty little piece of parchment!Also, I did okay on all my finals. I knew I wasn't going to keep my 4.0 after more than 2 years of very hard work. The classes this term were so hard! But, I did squeak out a b+ and an a- Dragged me to a 3.9....but as one of my friends says, "no one will ask you for your GPA once that Ph.D. is attached to your name."

futurehope Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Congratulations, Nina! It must feel wonderful to overcome challenges and to feel you've accomplished something despite the handicap.Just to get through a 5- hour test! To me, that's an accomplishment for anyone.

Guest Julia Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Congratulations Nina!You deserve a big pat on the back! 3.9 in nearly perfect---but i'm sure you not fretting over a 10th of a point. My husband Ron went to an accelerated college and graduated with a 3.48---just two points from honors. Those two points would have earned grants to help fund his masters. It was so difficult to keep up his GPA while working 10-12 hour days at the post office. His final exams just before getting his degree were right at the time of my surgery. He had one class to complete in June/July---he was allowed to go to the graduating ceremony---but didn't get the actual degree until just after my surgery in 2002.Just look at the GPA you received after all you have been through. You need a gold frame.Julie :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethansmom Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 CONGRATULATIONS!! Way to go with your 3.9!! I managed to squeak by with a 3.5 until I had Ethan, then with having less time to devote to school and being more tired and not able to concentrate as well, it's fallen to a 2.9 =( I had one Math course that I received a "D" in because I took my final right in the middle of the Holidays, and I was sooooooo mad at myself. I'm hoping I can bring it back above a 3.0 this semester before I graduate!! Anyway I am so happy for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarthMother Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Thank you so much for sharing such good news!!!What a way to start the new year!!!Good thoughts,EM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted January 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Thanks folks! I've been feeling pretty proud of my self today; hope I can hold onto that feeling for when the semester starts again on Jan 20--I'll need the extra jolt of positive thinking as I'm taking 2 classes again.Yes, 3.9 is only a tenth off of 4.0... It does burn me a bit though because I worked so hard, but at this point I need to just think about getting through this program with my degree in hand.Didn't get a chance to pick up my frame today but it's first on my list for tomorrow Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
