When I decided to go back to school, knew that college would help me refresh my brain in certain areas that I may need improvement on. I also returned to school because I want a job that will fit with me. Since I have been out of high school, I have had quite a few jobs. The jobs that were employed at, I knew that those jobs were what I did not want to have a career out of for the rest of my life. So, after all the different jobs I had back to back and me not being satisfied with either one.
I got a job and made some decent money so I decided I didn’t care for school. Moving from job to job made me realize that I have to go back to school. I couldn’t go back in time but I can try it now at ITT Tech and now I am even more focused than ever. At least two goals I set in this class are just to show up and do the work. If I show up and do the work, there’s no reason why I can’t pass the class or even get an A for my grade.
Although college is supposed to be used to help us prepare for our future careers and lives, many people get a lot of different life lessons out of it and in a way that is just as good as receiving their education. We as people do not all function the same way, so college works in different ways for all of us. I have had a chance to witness this on a personal level with two of my cousins. For one of my cousins’ college turned out to be a good
I had to make something of my life for not just myself, but for my family as well. There are many reasons why I decided to return to school, but the main reason was because I alwayspush her to do well in school and get good grades so that she could go to college. So I neededto lead by example. This is just one of the many reasons why I decided to return to school. Another was to better myself and be a constant provider for my family.
You only have so much time in a day and when you are a mother attending college and working there are sacrifices you are going to have to make to be more efficient; such as your friends, money, and your youth. I love hanging out with my friends and including them in my life but I realize, given my circumstances that I just can’t be with them all the time like in high school. I tell my friends that it’s part of growing up, they fully understand and support me and planning a study night together is a great way to make your time with one another more valuable. Saving money is an essential part of being able to balance out my bills, pay for all my books for college, and taking care of my children’s needs. Just like many other people in the world I live paycheck to paycheck but I have learned that putting back as little as five dollars out of check and keeping all your change will help you out more than you think.
The importance of getting a college education makes a person strong and more confident about them selfs. In my situation it has been really difficult to be able to transition from high school to college even though i have been out of high school for awhile now, it for sure doesn't feel the same. I have been attending college for a couple of semesters now and i do have to say that it hasn't really been easy, yes some courses have been a challenge for me but some more than others. People would think that things come to them very easily but for some people it takes them awhile to get into the grove and to grasp it well. In this journey of my college life i would have to say that it has been the biggest milestone for me.

I want to better myself, my family, and to be able to say I accomplished my goal. Goals and accomplishments are two big priorities, which I value them exceedingly having the desire to reach them in life. In order to accomplish goals, a plan must be laid out.
College Connect has done great things for my family and I; it motivated me to apply for scholarships, inspired me to do well in school and most importantly, to dream big. As a first generation student, my parents and I had no idea about SAT’s, college applications, scholarships, etc.I had no idea what the whole process was like. However, due to the support and help that College Connect offered me, I have successfully been accepted to a four year college. For me the most helpful thing about College Connect is the fact that students can go into their office whenever a question arises. Everyone at College Connect is always supportive towards whatever the student is concerned about.
