So I enrolled into Lenoir Community College and decided to major Early Childhood Education. I earned my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education in the year two thousand and nine. While I was working on my Associate’s degree I started working at WAGES Head Start as an educare teacher. So when I received my degree I was promoted to a lead teacher with my own classroom. I felt like that was enough for me at the time and so I put off going back to school to get my bachelor’s degree.
Stability is one of the reasons why I chose to return to school because I would someday be able to help my father the way he helped me and my family for myself as well. When I first started Ashford University online degree program, I thought that it would be difficult and kind of strange that I waited so many years to decide to go back to school. However, then I realized there really was no reasons to feel
I finally had self- confidence and the drive to make the most of my career as I neared completion of Banker’s College. Finally completing bankers college only started a drive for personal interest in a full fledged college degree and a chance at a new dream that I one day would like to complete, my own day care. I returned to an online college in a degree program for Early Childhood so I could prove to my family that I could graduate with honors and receive a diploma and I did with an Associate’s Degree the proudest moment of my life. I now have the chance to do many things with my college degree as well as returning to college and adding to it to
“Before I came to Leaguetown, I had a mentor at my old school,” sophomore Corey Small said. “I have already talked to Ms. Munday, and I hope I can get a mentor on May 1. It would be great to have another adult to support me. My mom didn’t go to college, so she doesn’t understand all of the forms and applications. I hope my mentor can help guide me through that process.” Students who are interested in obtaining a mentor may sign up with Munday in Room 318.
The University of La Verne’s core values have been present in my life throughout the years. Even though my mother wanted to attend college as I did, she didn’t have the option to so and that’s why she encourages me to try my hardest in school. When my mother was young, she dreamed of attending college in the United States and getting a job so she could support her family, whereas when I was small, I didn’t think school was important. Although my mother only attended elementary school, school was one of her top priorities because she felt like it was an honor to go to school, and if you went to school, you were considered to be lucky. My mother was an over-achiever and saw education as a way of showing that she was better than most.
I have all three of them with me now, and they are old enough to understand how important going to school is. I want to be a good role model for them. I want them to look up to me and feel motivated to follow in my steps when they are older. My personal long-term goal is that I eventually want to obtain my masters in nursing. One day when I am physically tired of the fast paced work as a floor nurse, I want to be able to teach nursing students how to provide patient care with dignity and
Throughout the years in high school I never really thought about my future until my senior year. So in all the years I was in high school I slacked with my grades and was very disappointed in myself when I saw my grade point average at a 2.4 for all four years I did in high school. I thought to myself, “Wow, I could have done so much better if I actually thought about where I was going to be within the next ten years.” I have saw my brothers and sisters go through college so I know I can do it too. The best thing about college is experiencing the new life. You get to meet new people and actually be in the real world.
All about Me Jennifer Webb COLL 100 I026 Fall 11 American Public University Eleanor Hewitt My name is Jennifer Webb and I am going to write an essay about why I decided to go back to school. I got tired trying to found a decent job, I wanted my daughters to follow in myself steps and go to college. I learned that most jobs are looking for some kind of college degree. I have been out of school for awhile and so I was a little nervous but after getting started I feel more comfortable with going to school. I want my daughters to always know that you can never get to old to learn new things.
Now I am working on my long term goals. My long term goals as of today are finishing college and getting my degree in early childhood education and becoming a teacher. I have decided to return to school to further my education. I always wanted to be a teacher. I love helping my kids with their homework.
Returning To School Sandra L. Walker Professor Melody Debonnel English Composition 1 December, 10 2012 Returning To School Returning to school has allowed me to open and explore opportunities to find out things about myself that I didn’t know before re-entering school. Making the decision to return to school I decided to return to school after I had been out for over forty years. I graduated from high school in 1969, I enjoyed attending high school and I always knew that I wanted to further my education. I had my first child right after I graduated high school and my college was put on hold because I chose to start working and take care of my family. Many years passed and I still had college in the back of my mind, once my children got older and to the ages where they were able to
