I am a single mom of 2 toddlers struggling after being laid off twice in the last two years due to slumps in the oil industry. I hold down two part time jobs and thought I could never go back to school. I need to test into the two remaining classes required to complete my AA degree, the test is to confirm understanding of college algebra.

I'm 33 I haven't even thought about Algebra since 2001 in high school. I was close to giving up because there was no way I could fit enough study time in with 2 jobs and 2 kids. Then I found Khan Academy. Every free moment I have, I open the app on my phone, get out my notebook and study. I'm retaining information and I feel so confident in ways that I have NEVER felt before.

I don't know if this will reach many of you, but to absolutely everyone involved in the process of making Khan Academy possible, thank you. You have not only changed my life but the lives of my children and I cannot truly express how grateful I am for the work you do. It's like having a personal tutor in my pocket. Amazing... I wish I could hug each and every one of you!
