"I've learned that perhaps this was my path all along," noted Tara Purasson, BA '17. "American artist Georgia O'Keeffe once said, 'I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do,' after she battled years of illness and poverty," said Purasson. "Her words remind me that some of our most revered artists, teachers, mothers, mediators, musicians, partners, engineers, psychologists, students and friends have felt the exact same way. People like that have supported me through this journey. Me — filled with fear and pride — now, a college graduate. I couldn't have done this without the support of my family, friends and loved ones. Thank you, Thomas Edison State University, for providing students like me who are juggling work, school, family and health, a first, second or third opportunity to succeed. I can't wait to continue my education."(Photo: Catherine "Cie" Stroud)
