SHAQUILLE O'NEAL EARNS HIS PHD IN EDUCATION FROM BARRY UNIVERSITY & DEDICATES IT TO HIS MOTHER...!!!

Yes, you can now add Dr. Shaquille O’Neal to his resume. If you have no one to look up to as a role model, its safe to follow Shaq as your model. Despite being wealthy and having the big dollars coming in, Shaq realizes that education is the key in life and something that cannot be taken away from one like money it is an asset and it's there to stay. So during his NBA career, Shaq pursued higher learning as his mother’s request and his own self-fulfilment at Florida’s Barry University and the results were rewarding. While he was working hard on the NBA court, Shaq was also working hard on his Phd(Doctor Of Philosophy) and has now come to the finish line as he earned his doctorate in education, earning him the professional title as Dr. Shaquille O’Neal

Here is what Shaq had to say about achieving his doctorate:

“This is for my mother, who always stressed the importance of education….I am proud to have achieved a doctoral degree and wish to thank my professors and Barry University for helping make this dream a reality. I’m smart enough to know that, even at my tender age, my pursuit of education is never finished.”

And here is what the university had to say:

“For the past four-and-half years, O’Neal pursued his doctoral degree in education while juggling the roles of athlete, student and entrepreneur….He completed the requirements of the doctoral program while adhering to the grueling NBA schedule prior to his retirement last year as well as fulfilling commitments in broadcasting and business.”

How awesome is that ! We have to all be proud of Shaq for receiving his doctoral degree and for his focus determination, despite being surrounded by millions of dollars and the fame that can easily alter the mind of one from reality.
