My final push to complete my teaching certification online was derailed when I was offered and accepted a temporary position to develop the curriculum for a new, state-funded STEM outreach program for underrepresented schools, a project that demanded 60-hour weeks of research, content creation, and teacher training for two months. This left my final, mandatory online education policy course completely unattended during its most critical assessment period. Rather than resign from the impactful outreach work, I searched for a comprehensive academic solution and found a service where I could hire a professional to do my online course; I provided the syllabus, and their assigned education specialist seamlessly took over my login to complete all discussion contributions, reflective essays, and the final research paper, earning the credit I needed while I dedicated myself to creating educational equity through the new program.
