“My most significant accomplishment was transitioning from social service to becoming a paraprofessional in the classroom. After working for a social service for about three years, the change was worth it. I’m in a better place with myself in life and doing better. I was able to apply my skills from social service to the classroom. I appreciate UNO for everything! I will be going on my second year as a paraprofessional next year.”

Mary Wallace, BS 25
Mary says that her greatest accomplishment is finishing her degree after 19 years. “Never give up on your dreams.”
