"I have lived most of my "adult" life a little backwards - starting with children, then marriage, then a home, and everything in between. For twenty years, I dreamed of earning my degree, and that dream finally came true this past fall. Now, as a graduate student at the University of Central Oklahoma, I'm living beyond what I ever imagined possible. My education has not only enriched my life, but it has also allowed me to show my children that higher education is within reach. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue this journey and proud to be a student at UCO. My goal is to work as a public servant, with a focus on municipal government, to better serve my community and others." ~ Jessica Rowe
