As I said before, I never repeat myself. - WGU Video Contest

I received 2nd place in the Video Scholarship competition. ($1K off the tuition each semester for 3 semesters). I want to thank everyone for the kind words, support and confidence. I just took my final exams with WGU and passed. I have official Graduated and received my Bachelor's degree in Business Management. It has been a wonderful experience! Thank You WGU, one more check mark off the list.

P.S. My son is now in complete remission from leukemia, he finishes chemo treatments next week.

Did he get it?

Aaron you have got my vote! Thanks for your amazing optimism for life! I hope that you get the scholarship!!!!!!

Aaron is a goal setter, and a goal achiever. His whole life has been one big climb up the mountain. I guess all of us have a mountain to climb, but Aaron's seems to be much steeper and rockier than most of ours. He has been hit with so many hurdles, and never complains, and never gives up. His wife battles MS and his two year old son battles leukemia. the fact that he never mentioned this in his video shows what kind of a person he is. Please give him this scholarship!!!!

You could always give up rock climbing and serve your country to get the GI Bill - where an honorable discharge equates to one helluva scholarship and sense of commitment to your country...

Wooooooow............

how do I vote for you. It was unclear

congratulations! it was a close race... my heart was on edge the whole time. If you plan to attend wgu, I will make myself available to help you in any way that I can! I graduate with by bachelors in November and will attend the masters in education program in January!
Vote Natalie.

Play that card, huh? The contest asked what we needed the scholarship for, and the answer was that my savings for college had disappeared in 2 $70,000 surgeries for my son. The week after I filmed the video, my baby brother broke his back, & I became his full-time caregiver. I won't dispute that Aaron could use a scholarship (who couldnt?), but making jabs isn't nice.

I don't think it was intended as a jab. It seems to me a compliment that someone could remain so charismatically positive in the face of such adversity. (His little boy is battling Leukemia). It is inspiring, really. Optimism through tribulation is something that would really help me feel more joy in my life. Thank you for your inspiring example, Aaron!!
