Why?
I am 42 years old. I put my home graduation on sep/1991, because the computer only has this data, really my graduation was sep/1986 and I am expecting to get my master degree on 2005. I had passed for very much penuries as an new immigrant on USA, but I will continue with the perseverance for to get my degree.
