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. The things that we do in life as far as school wise are thing we can take us to the next level is just a lot of us lose hope we are not sure where to go. I though getting a high school diploma was fine for me. I felt school was not for me because I have dyslexic and, I feel people just don’t want to help me.
I made sure that I would have help around the house while I am going to school, then my oldest daughter told me that she would be so proud to see me succeed my goal. So I checked around for some colleges and I found Ashford University. Even though I will be doing my courses online I will still be a full-time student. I will be going to Ashford University for my Bachelors in Health Care
In this essay I am going to explain key influences on the learning process of individuals. I am doing a BTEC extended diploma in health and social care right now at college and I am enjoying it so far. I did As levels last year in applied science, media studies and communication and culture and did like the subjects which made me go off track I didn’t attend lessons and my attendance dropped poorly. However when I came to pick up my results and I didn’t get the grades that I needed I realized that I need to put my head down because I don’t want to end up doing a boring/retail job all my life. My career goal is to become a radiographer which my dad first introduced to me and I found rather interesting, but my plan B is social work.
Completing my homework without procrastinating and using my resources such as my teachers when I need help are methods I use to accomplish this short term goal. I am eager to attain my Bachelor's Degree (hopefully by 2015) and am planning to continue here at pcc for my associate degree. One of the driving motivations of my education is my children. I want them to see that it is possible to go beyond what one has, to grasp what could be. I want to finish not only my Bachelor's, but my Masters degree for myself, for them, and for the people I hope to work with I have always tried to set clear targets and reach them whatever happens.
I would like to work as a crime scene investigator or a detective. I understand this field will take hard work and dedication and I am ready for it. When I picture myself at my dream job I see myself helping solve crimes. I have always enjoyed school and learning new things. Earning my degree online would be great for me so I can still stay home with my children until they are school age.
Besides, I am also assigned an advisor and mentor to help me keep track with my classes. Clearly, being a diversity scholar is a really great opportunity for me. In my country, the government does not have a lot of diversity program and recognition. When I got the scholarship, I felt like my voice had been heard and finally I have a chance to show the world my culture. With this scholarship, I plan to use it to support my financial aid as I am a full time student at Western.
Reflecting on the amount of schooling I have been through, I still enjoy my everyday math and science classes (I am very aware of my nerdy-ness). I conclude that it is the ideas and concepts that still infatuate me. These classes compose a consciousness in me to be able to solve any problem. My idea of solving problems as a kid was what I imagined most kids would do. I “fixed” all of my stuffed animals with bandages.
A sibling will be the one you are ready to kill one minute and can't live without the next. We go through everything in life together and are still there for one another even when times are the worst imaginable or amazingly wonderful. It is like no other relationship a person will ever have. I thank God I have my sister, Jana, but there are those who are not fortunate enough to have siblings. I taught Jana how to drive a stick shift and laughed at her because she didn't know how to boil water.
Pursuit of Education: A Lifetime Development As a high school student sitting in a class waiting for the teacher to pass back my test we took last week, I start thinking do I really need this class to better myself for the near future? I try to think how this class will benefit me later. Well, I know I need it as a credit to graduate high school and I know I need it to for college, but what does this class have to afford me if I don’t go to college and step into the real world now. In my head, I can hear my mom saying “Boy, you going to college!” but then I ask myself why do I need to go to college? And the number one answer I could think of right off the back was to make that money.
Some ways of preventing glossophobia are going to speech training courses which help reduce the fear but not cure it. I’ve also been told that imagining the audience in their underwear helps to cure the nervousness. But it makes me feels quite uncomfortable and a bit frightened. Anyway, I’ve been performing on the Founders theatre stage just about every year since I was 6 years old. I’ve never been all that scared of going on stage and just acting.
