"I can say now that I am not only a proud mother of two beautiful children but also a graduate of Madonna University with full honors. When I was handed my diploma, I told myself, “I finally did it!” It took me five years of hard work, long nights of doing homework after taking care of my family, but it was all worth it! And as I crossed the stage at graduation, with my diploma in my hand, I waved to my family and friends. I knew that I’d do it all over again if I had to."
-Mirna Galvan, from Stories of Hope and Learning
