Going Back To School

Returning back school after 15 years was scary. First of all I decided

It was time to return to school, I needed to speak to my family and make sure everyone

Was on board with my decision. Secondly, I went and visited the college near my house.

While I was there I decided to talk to different teachers. Which by the way was fun and

Exciting way to get to know the different classes I could take for the certificate I wanted

To get. Finally there was registering for the classes I’ve choosen. And, that’s the stages I

Took to get here today. Believe me, I’m more happier everyday that I made the decision

To come back to school after so long. The decision was a big one to make but there is

No could time to come back and get some more training so you could make more money

To take care of yourself and for your family. I never thought I would come back but after

Not having the education I needed was a bad thing considering that my daughter is going

To graduate from high school in the next year. She is already getting ready for admission

To college’s of her choice. That is the main reason I decided to go back and I really want

To Take care of the elderly. I work with them now but I can’t really take care of them

    There was many reasons I decided to return back to school. One main reason is the fact that obtaining a degree is one of the major personal goals I set for myself. Not completing that goal is unacceptable. When I set a goal to start something or finish it I make sure I do it, so that my girls will see that completing a goal is very important.…

    It was to see a future where your loved ones would be safe, and you could guarantee that they would be safe. At the same time, it wasn’t just that--I wanted to be something, something to be remembered for. In history class, you learn about all those greats-- yeah most of them claim the name of something from someone who probably spent hours doing research. However, the ones that truly shine, are the ones who give back, the selfless ones.…

    One day, while I was laying peacefully on my bed, my mother came in with a letter from Florida A&M University. I didn't really want to speculate anything because a few days before I received a letter from another college saying that I wasn't accepted. Nevertheless I was still excited when I opened it and even more so when I read that I had been accepted. So without much hesitation I packed up and headed to Tallahassee. When I arrived my mother and I took care of registration and a plethora of things you have to manage as a new student. After all the hassles of college registration were completed my mother departed for home and I was left by myself to attend college. What a great feeling! Little did I know what I had on store for the next day, my first in college.…

    Now I had an important decision to make: let cognitive dissonance take over and curb my toward what the epitome of success had to offer, or realize that maybe this place wasn't for me. I want to be in a place open to ideas with plenty of classes from which to choose, I want to study what I dream about and, most importantly, I want to be my own person, not one in a crowd of many. I decided to revise my previous idea of what a successful life meant and do what I felt would prepare me for who I wanted to be as an adult; I canceled my application and explained to my family why I took such a drastic step. On my own time, I figured out who I wanted to be, even if that meant not having the fortune and fame that came with stereotypical success, and this made me feel like a new person. I know I will not regret my decision and that my future is going in the proper direction for me to reach my goal: to study microbiology throughout college and graduate school, and work at the CDC, a dream completely different from the one I started with, but also one so much more true to my…

    I recently found a list of goals that I had written 20 years ago. Most of the goals were realistic and I was able to achieve them. While I was checking the items off my list that I accomplished, there was one that I have debated about for many years—returning to school to earn a degree. Returning to school has always been achievable; however, as each year of my life sped by and I got older, I always came up with more and more excuses as to why I should not return to school. One day I received a course catalog in the mail showing online classes at the college. I decide that an online class would be the first step to my future. I am so grateful for the first day of that class. All the excuses and delays regarding returning to school were in vain. It is amazing the different prospective I know have about being a child verses an adult in school.…

    The decision to enroll in college was motivated by my experience that night and my long interest in the health field. I have a full time job, four kids, and a wife with full time job. Going back to school after several years of hiatus does not make it easy. Despite the nature of my job, which involves overtime and irregular hours, I was still able to keep up with my classes. Meanwhile, my goal to realize my dream was cut short when I got accepted to nursing school and dropped out due to family reason. This time around, with full support and cooperation of my family, I am fully ready to pursue and to realize my long time goal.…

    Enrolling in school was something I knew I had to do but have put off for the past few years. My Military training has been my priority since day one. Attending as many military schools and deploying often has taken precedence over college. At this point progression in my career is dependent on my ability to complete my degree and to fulfill my education. Deciding to go back to school seemed like an obvious choice for my career and beyond. I had once enrolled in a class where I physically had to sit in the classroom three days a week. With the hectic schedule of my job I quickly had to drop class and focus on my military training.…
