Sharese Windley started college in 1998, but it wasn’t until this year that she finally earned her nursing degree. After battling a chronic illness throughout adulthood and taking time off from school to raise her family, Windley made the decision to enroll in the BSN program at Herzing University-Atlanta in 2015.

“I knew that if I didn’t finish school now I never would. At that point, I had been a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, and I felt like the opportunity was slipping away,” Windley remembers.
