Paul Carr was just one semester shy of finishing his degree at Morehouse College when he found out his girlfriend was pregnant. So he decided to stop out, to get a job to support his budding family. He told himself he’d go back soon to finish. That was more than 25 years ago. Carr always intended to return. In fact, he made a promise to his father on his deathbed that he would finish his college degree.
