    Mr. Jean-Paul Degaetano
    This has been one of the toughest things I have done in a while but the most rewarding one too. I am self-employed and a father of two boys. I have been avoiding this MBA for a while until I found Westford where I got the courage to take the leap. Though it was tough in the begining, Westford gave me the drive to keep going, the lectures were engaging and professors were very cooperative. I finally got the motivation to keep learning as well as grow my own business, all thanks to Westford.
