More About Christine Granado
What do you want your legacy to be? This question stared Christine Granado squarely in the face, after not one, but two, bouts with cancer. Christine, who at the time of her stage 4 diagnosis was a student at WGU, began wondering about her legacy.
Two years earlier, doctors shared the grim news that the disease was incurable. A nurse, wife, and mother, Christine went into a deep depression. Strengthened by the support of her family, medical professionals, as well as from her WGU mentor, Christine was able to develop the mindset of "acceptance is everything."
This period of introspection had her wanting to complete important life goals, things she felt were realistic with an end date in sight. One of those lifelong goals was to finish what she started at WGU. Christine made a pact with herself that she would do or simply die trying.
With this amazing vision into the future—Christine completed her bachelor’s degree in July 2020, walked in WGU’s virtual commencement in August, and then started a new job in September as a Clinical Manager at a pediatrics group in Newark, New Jersey. A few months later, Christine, never done learning, enrolled in the Master’s of Health Leadership degree program her at WGU.
