I am currently three classes short of finishing this degree. With my experience and background I have excelled to the bachelors degree level.
I started studing Arabic language and culture in 2000. This degree took me 9 years to complete. I have gone to the intermediate level of classes and passed all of them with the assistance of scholarships from the State of Virginia. I refused to give up on these classes even when many americans dropped out and quit because they thought that language was too hard for an american to learn. I am now able to read, write and speak in beginner level Arabic. But my education shows intermediate, because it is in the United States.
