Three Reason I Decided to Return to School Kevin Day Gen/200 February 21, 2014 Carol Amato Three reasons I decided to return to school I thought I should return to school to better my career, gain more knowledge, and be more self-sufficient. I would better my career by going into the field of Kinesiology, which is the movement of the human body. This is a very broad field that goes into so many different directions. I would like to coach at a high school/college or at a higher-level school. My passion is to coach kids and teach them what I have learned.
There are various reasons as to why I would like to attain an education. It is not easy in my region, being a single mother and living on a basic salary. The aim of obtaining a better job and being able to be promoted are just a few reasons why I am passionate about excelling in the academic arena. As long as I can achieve this, then I will be more than able to earn a higher income, thus landing me in a better position to support myself and my children. There is much personal satisfaction to gain from earning a college degree.
Second, it will offer motivation to my kids. Not only will the degree provide me with a better position to take part in my children’s classrooms assignments at school, I will similarly be helpful in the life choices they will want to pursue being a role model for them. Attempting to get a college education after marriage with children may also be challenging and may require me to put off those decisions to raise a family. However, currently with the enormously fast progress in technology, attaining an education will be made considerably easy. Patty Murray noted "A good education means learning to read, write and most importantly learn how to learn so that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up”(Vavrus, 2002).
It helps us build opinions and have points of view on everything in life. One needs to achieve certain goals in life before they can truly call themselves a success, a designation I am thriving to attain. I have many specific achievement that I aspire to achieve within my lifetime. Some of these goals are to acquire a solid education and develop an intrinsically rewarding career. My ideal career would allow me to become financially independent, while simultaneously providing me with a sense of pride and overall happiness.

Why College Education is Important to Me These days, a college degree is not optional if a person wishes to excel in the business world. Many employers will not even consider an applicant without a bachelor’s degree. Obtaining a college degree can provide a higher income, self-fulfillment, and more long-term opportunities. Although I agree with the reasons above, I have additional reasons I feel that a college degree is important to me. First, I hope to provide inspiration to my daughter.
I did not want this to hinder my dream of going to university and following the career path that I have wanted for so long. I was determined to find a solution that suited my life and everyone in it, even though the odds were heavily stacked against me, and it seemed home study was the best option for me. After much research I came across the Distance Learning Centre (DLC). The DLC was able to offer me the possibility of gaining the qualification I needed and I could achieve this all whilst being at home. I would be able to study at my own pace, have regular tutor support, the offer of a monthly payment plan and the most important
Down Syndrome Affecting Motor Behavior Specifically in Postural Control By: Malinda Sachse Introduction: My purpose behind selecting this topic was to further educate myself and to support my daycare students. There is a student of mine who has Down syndrome and I work with him on a regular basis. I am his Physical Education teacher and I am constantly making sure my lesson plans are catered to his needs as well as the other students in his class. I was interested in learning more about this topic as a whole to educate myself and see if I could help him by any additional means, as he does not receive this type of assistance at home. I also have other students with impairments and I have learned to apply some similar techniques thought out some of the disorders.
I have future plans of becoming a counselor or a life coach, I plan to make the final decision on which one when I have had a chance to practice as an intern; That is how I think I will learn better which one is more suitable for me personally. I also chose to attend college because I want to set a good example for my children. It makes much more sense for them to see me going to college, rather than for them to just hear me tell them why I feel it is so important that they go. I understand that, by my choice to attend college, there will be obstacles and fears that I will need to overcome and work through, but my goals and strengths will help me through this. I chose Lackawanna College because I felt that the programs offered here would help as a starting point towards achieving my goal to further my education, and to eventually transfer to another college after getting a degree in Human Services at Lackawanna College.
I am sure that with more education it would open a wide range of opportunities. Education would also help me to become better with handling my financial situation. By being a better financially equipped individual I would be able to plan a future by having a job that pays more which would increase the savings to be able to retire later in life. I could be taught how to make much better decisions for myself to enable me to become financially stable. A good education by the right institution would open the window of opportunity by guiding me in the right profession to chase the better companies to apply for a job with a focused clear mind.
