I am pursuing a degree at ITT Tech because my girlfriend asked me what I was going to school for and I told her, I wanted to go to school for computer science or electrical engineering. I love computers, phone’s, updated gaming consoles, and new modern technology because that’s what I world is turning into.

Everyday I stress over earning a good grade in my classes, instead of being driven to learn the material of the course.
Being the first person in my family to get a college degree makes me feel so good. Setting example for children and letting them see that mommy can do it is priceless.

I believe that with knowledge, anything is possible and receiving a degree with honors will only serve to help me in my chosen field of social work. This is not going to be an easy task especially at age fifty, and there will be many obstacles to get through, but when I obtain that degree I think it will all be worth

Growing up, my mom pretty much told me that if I was not joining the military then I was for sure going to college. And I was okay with that. I knew that going to college would give me a better job so I could maintain a stable lifestyle; but that’s the thing, it never crossed my mind that I need to go to college for a better education.
