Having financial problems played a factor also in my returning to school. Being a single parent, with no support, I knew that I had to make some drastic changes. I have to joggle so many tasks each day and it can be hard. My family motivates me not to give up on my academic goals because I know it is something I have to do. Additionally, having a better income to support me and my family would be nice.
I have a hard time taking test in school because everything I study and prepared myself for would go blank once I reach in front of the test. They took the time to encourage and prepare me for the test process in a unique way. There is nothing that I would let get in my way of pursuing my dream of working in the Health field as a License Practical Nursing. I have a lot riding on my success and someone who’s depending on me to finish. I’m looking forward to starting class in March 2011.
My Self-Doubt always seems to come in play the day before or during an exam, all it takes for me is to see one question I don't know the answer to or to study and be completely confused about something and I'll immediately start to tell myself that I can't do it or that i'm never going to get it and once i tell myself that I'll quit studying and if i'm taking a test i'll just start to rush through it. I'm also a visual learner so classes, such as, my labs its a lot easier to remember the steps we did or the results we got, or if my lecture
Strengths and Challenges Letter Dear Professor J. Campbell, I would like to take this time to share with you as my Professor my strengths and challenges so you will know something about this student. I have a couple of strengths and lots of challenges. I would like to keep it basic and right now my challenge is coming back to school. I don’t expect to be easy; as they always say” anything that comes easy to you, you never appreciate it”. I dropped out of school when I had my first child and I didn’t get my high school diploma until I had my 3th child.
I see my friends getting good jobs and pursuing their education and I was a sixteen year old mother with nothing to look forward to. My life have change so much and my goal was to go back to school and complete my education. For the past three years my mother and brothers always encouraged me to continue where I left off. Finally one day I decided to reapply to a secondary school to complete in education. I try looking for a job first to take care of my daughter and pay for my finances but that wasn’t successful.
Expectations of an Online School verse a Classroom Setting It wasn’t long ago when online school had absolutely no competition with school on campus. But now in this day and age online school competes with school on campus on every level. While taking school online can be more advantageous than attending a school on campus, most of us have different lifestyles and learning abilities and so therefore I hope my essay will help you with making a decision which best suites you. For the past few years my older sister and I have been debating about what type of education setting is best. As she chose to attend a classroom setting I made my decision to attend school online.
Throughout the school year I had to prepare for many midterms and finals. There were times when it was very difficult to focus just because of the environment alone. There were days when it was more of a challenge but, the despite the distraction I have managed a 3.0 grade point average. I strongly feel that your program will best prepare and teach me the necessary need to become a valuable contributor to the health profession. I visited the campus and staff that have done a great job by answering and helping with my questions.
Sociology is an intriguing subject; learning how people interact in a group opposed to when they are by themselves really opened my eyes to the reality of daily living. I am very grateful for the opportunity, to be able to work while in school and have the accommodations such as working hours and location of work fit right into my schedule. While the area of work and school has worked itself out, I worry now about doing the best I can. Even though I am grateful for everything, it can be overwhelming and a little challenging at times but I have made up my mind and I accept it. Evaluation Without challenges there are no lessons to be learned and without lessons being learned there is no growth.
During those periods I'd be able to finish homework or study for tests, leaving me more time to concentrate on all my extracurricular activities, sports and scholarship applications. Furthermore, if I do end up getting a terrible marks, I'd have an opportunity to be able to repeat the course. Looking at the amount of repetitive work we have to do everyday, my guess is that I won't do as good as I usually would in an English class. For example, it's very hard not to get bored with writing an outline, rough draft, second draft, and final copy all in the same day; it will drop my mark for sure. Additionally, there's something about essay and paragraph writing that just demands my full attention; summer school excellently provides this opportunity .
We didn’t have a lot of money, we didn’t know the language, but what we did have were minds full of hopes and dreams and the desire and push to make them a reality. In little to no time, I learned the English language, and only a year after coming to this country I was identified by my school as a gifted student. I pushed myself constantly to be better in everything that I did, preparing myself for a college education, thirsty for knowledge and
