First of all I want to express my gratitude to all of people
involved in this challenge achieved, for giving me the opportunity of getting
my Doctorate in Finance. This chapter of my life started when I was finalizing
the administrative issues of my Master degree in February 2013 and I was very
enthusiastic for continuing my professional preparation to grow-up in the area
where I was working Finance. So I started to look for options at different
universities, after a hard work of searching into the Internet and asking for
further information, I prepared a decision tree and chose to study at Atlantic
International University due to the methodology and after receiving an amazing
surprise about the possibility to get a scholarship.

The AIU’s Andragogic methodology, through the way distance
learning way, suited adequately to my needs in accordance to my different roles
with a lot of activities, providing me a new perspective since the beginning by
creating my curriculum and I really enjoyed structuring a learning way by
myself. The experience as AIU student is unbelievable and I will always
recommend it to my family and friends.

Now I am here writing this letter after some non-justified
delays and I can share my happiness of making come true this dream, adding positivism
to my daily activities as well as dealing with this dynamic environment more
conscientiously. Additionally I have the opportunity to be an example to my
little daughters, so I will share and increase my knowledge with them.

Finally, I extend my thanks and appreciation to all the
AIU’s staff for helping me in a very outstanding way through the suggestions to
improve my assignments, reminders to meet deadlines, telephones calls
motivating me for getting finally this award which I am proud of: my Doctorate
in Finance.

Kind
Regards,
