Being in the Army while attending Mercer was a balancing act, but the experience was made much easier thanks to the support I received. The small class sizes created a close-knit community and the professors were incredibly understanding of my military commitments. They worked with my schedule and genuinely care about my success, both in the classroom and in uniform.
