I am so grateful for having accomplished two college degrees. via /r/gratitude

i feel so grateful that i grew up in a family that valued education and supported me when I needed them. i graduated from Stony Brook University in 2012 with two bachelors of science, one in applied mathematics and statistics, and the other in economics.

The reason I am so grateful is that just right before I attended college, I had a stepfamily member in the house who was a hardcore drug addict and a hardcore criminal. But he got kicked out just right before I attended college, I think back that was God's plan to kick him out so he wouldn't have prevented me from getting educated. I thank God every day for his amazing plan for me.
