I will not judge my retirement by my age but more my emotion, when my passion is no longer there that is when I know it is time to pass the torch. Once retired I want to spend time with my wife, my kids, and hopefully many grandchildren; my wife and I want a large family but know in this day and age the expense is so great it makes
Even though education is a primary key to improve the quality of life of an Alzheimer’s patient, I strongly believe a little fun could go a long way. A day for the caregiver and patient to unload their worries and struggles would not only relieve stress; but get them to appreciate another day of life for their loved one with the disease.

The Alzheimer’s Association is a program that provides education to patients, caregivers, professionals, and community members who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Result of Career Interests Profiler and Competencies activities I am getting ready to retire from my first career where I made a very good living and in order to continue with the same quality of life, I need to have a new career that will support the current lifestyle that I am familiar with. The first step for me is to choose a new career and that is why this assignment is so important to me.

This is a program that not all employers offer, therefore if your company does, I highly suggest that you take them up on it.
The main key point is not to lose sight of what is important to you. On top of working all day then, coming home to complete school work, there must be time for family. The family is your support team, involving them in to the daily activities of work and school can make the entire experience more of a pleasure, than one of a burden. Prioritizing your work and avoid wasteful time management will create a smooth path towards a degree. The largest time waster is being disorganized.
