September is #SelfImprovementMonth! We are proud to be a part of so many studentsโ journeys to bettering themselves and achieving their goals. What does self-improvement mean to you? ๐
โMy parents were my primary motivation to go back to school. My parents sacrificed everything for my siblings and I. Truthfully; I believe that every generation should be an improved version of the previous generation. Their immense sacrifice always spurs me to do more and bring honor to our family name.โ - Francisco R., Class of 2016
What motivated YOU to go back to school? ๐๐
We remember and honor those impacted by the events that occurred on 9/11. They are forever in our hearts and memories.
Itโs never too late to become the person you want to be. What can you do today to get one step closer to achieving your goals? ๐ #SelfImprovementMonth

โServing my country has given me the chance to explore the world and have experiences that most Americans will never understand. I give back to the community by volunteering because I am so privileged to have made it to where I am in life. It is very important to me to mentor my fellow servicemembers to do the same thing.
I always recommend National University because it is such a military friendly school. The staff and professors understand the unique challenges of being a servicemember.โ - Crystal G., Class of 2020, Military Servicemember
