Petersen Graduates
Submitted by Jo Petersen '21
My Cal Lutheran story is the end of my college career. It’s been a long time coming. I had completed an AA over 10 years ago and didn’t think I would ever go back. I had all the excuses. I was too old. I had no time. I couldn’t ever do Math again, let alone homework. It would take too long. It would cost too much. I would be too tired. Then I was hired to work for Cal Lutheran. I learned about the Professional program. I figured, with the convenience of the classes of the program and the cost relief of the tuition remission, I had to give it a try at least for a year. So, I took MATH. And I passed! So, I continued and now I’m going to graduate.
I’m actually graduating the same year as my daughter graduates from High School and my son graduates from middle school. So we all are celebrating as 2021 Graduates!
