After many years and several careers, my Sister convinced me to go back to school with her. It seemed like it was worth doing, so off we went. We met some great people, several I've been friends with for years.

It was sort of ironic though, by day I was working to develop complex systems for DNA data management and by night I was taking basic biology courses. I paid attention and did all the work to earn an AA degree in American History. I was one of only ten students out of ten thousand to score a perfect 4.0 gpa (top .01 percent) and receive President's list distinction every semester.
