It helped shaped me and my music. Going through a hard time makes you a better person. Going through hell those two years was worth it.

There were plenty of detractors at that time who insisted it couldn't be done. However, that call inspired educators at colleges and universities across our state to step up to the plate. Today, I'm proud to tell you that thirteen Texas universities have announced plans for a $10,000 degree.
