Earning an MBA with Gary Batara

00:00 Hey, everyone. I’m Gary Batara, and here is a day in the life of this 2023 University of Phoenix graduate. At around 4 a.m., I’m at the gym getting a workout in before 00:09 packing everyone into the car for the big day. “Where are we going, everybody?” “Graduation.” “For what?” “Daddy’s graduation.” 00:20 Okay. All right. It’s showtime. After earning my MBA, it is exciting to see all these graduates who are also about to receive their diplomas. 00:27 Earning my MBA was not easy. 00:34 And I have to thank my family, faculty and advisors who helped me get here. It is hard to overstate how meaningful it felt 00:42 to move that tassel. Multiply that feeling across thousands of other graduates, and you will have a sense of the feeling in the room. Thank you, University of Phoenix 00:50 for an incredible experience. Earning my degree was a significant achievement, but the lasting life experience I gained through this journey is truly 00:59 invaluable.
