Grad Issue: Student hopes to use his education to serve his country in the Air Force
Savanna Molina | December 11Many people who don’t finish college on their first shot usually never go back, but for Christopher Kennedy, his return and graduation has been a long time coming. After six different schools and 16 years since he attended his first college course, Kennedy will be graduating from UNM with honors at the age of 34. Right out of high school, Kennedy first attended the Coast Guard Academy and for several years studied at many other military schools and community colleges. He said he had a job while he was going to school, but when it was too much and his life wasn’t going in the right direction, he decided joining the U.S. Air Force was his best chance at a better future.
