 Being a single mom, our normal is different. It's helped us to really learn how to work as a team, too, because I can't do it all on my own. They've got my back. My name is Rebecca McDonald-Credin. I am a current student at Colorado Christian University pursuing my master's degree in organizational leadership. I chose CCU to pursue my master's degree because having a Christian world view and curriculum based on that is something that's very important to me, and I just didn't find that at other places where it's truly built into every class. I'm really proud of my mom. I can't wait to see her graduate. She has really good grades. CCU has made it possible for me to pursue my degree full-time. Busy with work, school, kids. When she works on her stuff, it makes me feel like we're all a team working together. And once she gets it, it's not just hers, but we get to all enjoy it. There are so many things that we put on the back burner as moms. Desires, passions, interests, because our priority becomes raising our children. And this is an opportunity where you can still do that and take care of yourself. Being a student at CCU has truly changed my life, the life of my kids. It has changed how I view myself and it's shown me a strength I didn't know I had. And it's shown me that all things are possible.
