I have no regrets because I have a beautiful son,” she wrote.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">The singer-actress admitted that it was because of her 10-year-old daughter that she decided to pursue higher education once again. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">“Having a ten-year-old daughter was the motivation I needed to prioritize finishing a degree.

The point is not that a degree is meaningless but that it should have great value or uphold something of great importance to you. People hire or do business with you based on your skills, attitude, and work ethic rather than just your degree,” she ended.</span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
