John Mullins: A Successful Career

During the summer of 2012, I thought, “What am I doing with my life?” I was cleaning houses and taking care of the elderly. I suddenly realized that my girls were older and my son was in kindergarten; it’s the perfect opportunity for me to accomplish my dream. So, I figured out my schedule so I would have plenty of time for work, school and my two youngest children.

I am proud to share that on May 6th, I will walk across the stage to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Lindenwood University.
