"I completed 36 courses in six months. Statistics and Probability took me over a month alone. But, with tears in my eyes, I am proud to say that I became a positive statistic today! “I am a first generation graduate and I was raised by a single mother. I grew up in a family of seven children, with four fathers (mine was a drug addict and incarcerated for seventeen years of my life.) I grew up in poverty and experienced homelessness. “Statistics say that children in poverty are less likely to achieve milestones like graduating high school and making it to college graduation in comparison to those who are not poor. Today, I proved the statistics wrong and got my Bachelor of Science in Communications! See you in Seattle!" - Ulunda B. Congratulations, Ulunda, on your incredible achievement and beating the odds! We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our Seattle commencement ceremony in July! 🎉 #WGUGrad #ShockingStatistics #FirstGenGrad (fb)
