My first day taking an online course
My First Day Taking an Online Course (narrative)
When I first decided I would retake my college studies after over fifteen years of not taking a studying book in my hands, little did I know what the process had in stock for me. It all started one day at work while talking to some fellow co-workers about a NEW JOB posting position which represented a huge OPPORTUNITY of professional growth. I knew I had the knowledge, the expertise and the guts to do the job successfully. Nevertheless, I also knew that since it was a management position I would need a college degree, which I didn’t have. So, I decided not to let this situation back me down. Instead, I took matters in my hands and enrolled in an online course with expectancy and determination. When I finally started taking the courses I felt a little lost mainly because after a long day of work all I wanted was to rest and finish the modules as fast as I could, but I was determined and engaged in overcoming a barrier that was retrieving me from my professional goals. After a while and many tries I discovered that by reading, following instructions and cordially contacting the professors I would be on my way to overcome my first day as an online student. After that first day, the rest fell in to place. I managed to develop a schedule and make a balance between my professional, educational and personal life. Though I do have to admit it’s not easy and at times I feel like quitting, one thought crosses my mind “The best fighter is not the one who always wins, but the one who turns into battle without fear…” Dolores Ibarruri.
