One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life. I saw all my co-workers who are older and I definitely didn't want to be an old factory worker. At my current job, there is always room to advance and move up in the company, so that is why I choose going to school for business management because I eventually want to be in the office. The most important reason why I decided to further my education is because I want to be a positive role model to my son Kaleb and show him that college is something you need to do to further your goals and accomplish dreams in life. Yes, I have had many obstacles that crossed my path but I want him to see that I didn’t just settle for less and that I am in charge of being able to accomplish my dreams and goals.
20 October 2011 The Bachelors Degree as a Job Requirement Being an adult and returning to college after receiving the pink slip from my employer was a hard choice I had to make. I soon found out that in this economy seven years of experience as an executive assistant, Microsoft certificates and my good attitude just wasn’t enough to get a good job anymore. I wasn’t even being considered because my resume didn’t state I went to college and received a bachelor’s degree. Going to college is a huge commitment and responsibility. College provides us with the knowledge and credibility that employers seek in this demanding world today.
In the Kite Runner, there are many people who are impacted by shame for what they have done or said. Although, some try to fix what they did wrong, this shame often carries onward into the future even when they may be forgiven. It is a destructive force that should never be used as a tool of correction. This is shown in the case of Amir and Hassan's relationship. Shame can sometime be broken down into two parts.
I knew I couldn’t handle the stress then because my family was demanding to much of my time. I would discuss with my husband that I wanted to one day be supervisor of business services and he would always say to me do you think you can handle the pressure and responsibility that come with it. I really didn’t understand what he was saying then; I just thought he was trying to talk me out of it. I decided to go for it and apply for the supervisor position that came up at my job. I knew I was skilled qualified for the position but I wasn’t degree qualified for the position.
Unfortunately, things don’t always go according to plan, and Logan ended up dropping out of school, and started working at a local grocery store. While working at his grocery store job, he sees some of his friends from high school and feels ashamed that he made a mess of his life without any clear path or goal to success. After that encounter, he realized that he had a second chance. He went to the community college that fall; and opted to become a leader rather than a follower. When a student is not trying to do well in a subject, or in school altogether, there is nothing anyone around them can do to change that; it must be the student’s desire and decision to turn things around, and do the best they can.
I can say that my worst fear is being a failure Being a grown man wishing I finished high school or college, stressed out trying to figure how I’m about to pay my rent for next month and not being able to provide and help my family when they really need it. Both sister and my brother and even my father have recently had children. This has made life a little more stressful and hard. My brother and sisters has dropped out of college and started work at minimum wage jobs to provide for their children. I sometimes wish I could show them that their lives don’t have to stop
Classes like wood shop, auto mechanics, home economics, typing, etc. are more and more frequently not being offered at high schools any more. These classes offer certain skill sets that would help people obtain a good job right out of high school, and also might offer some insight to what kind of field you want to work in which in the long run will help you obtain a “good” job. Even if you go to college and find a career choice that excites you, you can still end up below the poverty line because the American economy is flawed. Lars Eighner’s essay “On Dumpster Diving” details a core aspect of the three-year period when the author and his dog were homeless.
Any of which have consequences following them; I have learned to deal with the mistakes I have made and deal with them in the best manner I can. The hardest thing about making mistakes is dealing with the grief you are causing the ones closest to you. It’s the ones’ closest to me that are truly being hurt. Friends and family both ask me, if you could would you want to take back the mistakes you have made? My answer to that is no I would not; its because of the mistakes I have made that make me who I am today.
Before I finished the high school, I started to work for a big tools company as a salesman helper (where I learned many new things). After one year I had, the opportunity to become a salesman. That job gave me many opportunities to continue studying because I had a flexible schedule. I finished high-school, and I drop out of school for two years because I liked to make money and I forget the school. Fortunately I changed my mind and went back to school to finish the university.
Taking Mat090 has been a major accomplishment in my life. I graduated high school in 1989 and never pursued a college education. I was offered scholarships to out of state schools, but did not accept because I had a child a little too early in life. Instead of attending college I needed to provide for my family by working a full time job. While I have had a pretty successful career thus far I know that not having a degree has held me back from reaching my full potential.
