My Story I have always wanted to return to school but never got around to it until recently. There are so many reasons why I returned to school but this essay would become a book and I would be typing for weeks. There were many reasons I decided to go back to school. One main reason is the fact that getting my degree is one of the major personal goals I set for myself and not accomplishing this goal would mean failure to me. The second reason I felt returning to school to be so essential was so my family may become more financially stable.
So I believed I came back at a good time in my life. The first reason I decided to returning to school is because I could get a better career. I need to get a better career, so I could better my family because I’m a big part in my family’s lives. My life now is struggling to get by and I feel that if I could get a better education then I could get a better life of all of us and live comfortably. That way I know that if my family ever needs anything then I can afford to get that for item for them.
Completing my degree it helps me get more education and have more opportunities by having two degrees to get better income. I have always wanted to return to school, since after high school things didn’t work out, then after being out of high school for almost 15 years it makes it harder to go back to school. I wanted to be role models for my niece and nephews
Unlike high school, people are taught one specific area as their major. Ultimately, it would help to expand my knowledge as well to allow me to study what I really want. With increased knowledge, I can become more confident and my self-esteem would be much higher than before. As mentioned before, I choose to go to college for various reasons. One reason is to get a better job that requires more sophisacated skills.
So I think since I have not had a job since so I took this time to further my education. I have always wanted to further my education so I took this time to do it. Before I even decided to return I was uncertain that a online course would be good for me because I had returned once before and I did not make it. It was so hard back then. But I am very glad that I became and chose to be an Ashford University student.
So, 3 years later here I am, attending Ashford University working on my BS degree in Social Science and enjoying it. I realized that college is very important and receiving my degree can help me get that great job I have always wanted. I know that college is right for me. I love being in college. I got negative and positive feedback from family and friends, saying that I was too old, I waited too long and that I had my nephew, but I had made up my mind that I was going to do this, for me and my nephew so that we can live comfortably one day.
It has helped me with the debt that I had prior to returning to school. This started off being the main reason why I decided to return to school but I saw the bigger picture and that was me getting a college degree and making a better life my children. So for me, it is all worth it in the end. While trying to pursue my degree, I know there will be many obstacles in the way such as unsupportive peers and being able to maintain good grades. Some of the strategies are to make sure I study all material as much as I can and turn all assignments in a timely manner.
Why I am Attending College I decided to go back to college to get further education. I wanted to set a good example for my kids and show them that their education is very important. My life has been an up and down hill battle until I went back to school. I have been out of school for eleven years now, so just imagine how I feel sitting back in a classroom. When I told my mom that I had decided to go back to school she was very proud of me and told me that I can do it as long as I tried hard enough.
Reasons of Going Back to College Many years ago, a large number of people were content with just a high school diploma, and this was sufficient for them to find a job. But today, who wants to limit himself by not going back to college? Many people decide to go back to college for numerous reasons such as have more job opportunities, more money and to expand their knowledge base. The first reason for going back to college is to have more job opportunities. The world is changing rapidly and many people are tired of being at the same job for a long time.
Going back to school also is good for me because, I feel like I am making myself a little smarter. When I graduated high school I wanted to go to college but, I got married and had children. My husband at the time did not support my choices to go to college. I now have a man that supports me and also encourages me to better myself. I have had to overcome some obstacles.
