My name is Ani and I am a thirty four years old. I am a creative person since my childhood. I was born in March, and I like spring a lot. Online learning was changed my life better. My mom and sister always told me, to take online courses and get your degree. When I attended public college, it was very stressful days for me. I made a decision to get my degree online and my family members was agreed with me. My family always take care of me; my mom helps me with my assignments and she always remind me to complete my projects when I was doing household work. For me, Penn Foster Career School helps me to achieve my goal. When I attended public college, at the same time I had family household responsibilities. I didn’t have time to finish my homeworks.

    A challenge that will be the hardest as I pursue my graduate study is time management. There are so many things that happen in my day and adding graduate school to the mix is just one more challenge I will face. One strategy I will implement to make my time management run smoothly will be to reorganize my daily activities and make time for my studies. Going to school online gives me a greater window to finish my school work because I can do my school work around my family activities and still be there for everyone in my life. My step daughter is very important to me and deserves my time, especially because she is only three. I plan on giving her fun activities that she can do on her own during my study time. I am not the only one who is majorly concerned with time management as an issue while attending graduate school. According to a study done by M. Beth Schlemper, this issue was also the main concern within her population of study coming in as the number one concern (Schlemper, 2011, p. 69). I believe that making a schedule and sticking to it as well as I can, will lead me to a positive experience between making time for my school work and my family without either one suffering.…

    In this situation, I learned how to set my priorities, a skill that has taken me a step toward preparing for college. Knowing that education would provide the foundation for my future in college and beyond, I placed it at the top of my values, so even in the excitement of new friends and complete independence, I had to maintain it as my first priority. Though it proved difficult to discipline myself without support and accountability alone, I managed to succeed. I’d invite friends over to my room to study, and it eventually became a custom to for us hold study sessions in my room every Monday night and before test days. The entire night was devoted to completing our assignments, studying for exams, and tutoring each other. After the strenuous study session, we’d reward ourselves with a movie and light conversations. These study sessions were an efficient way in which I could balance two of my important priorities, friends and academics.…

    College is a new setting for most students, especially the ones no longer living at home. The transition can be easy and worry-free, or a challenging and stressful time. Brougham states, “Growth and change were often accompanied by the experience of stress. The cause of stress varies from person to person. Overall there can be similarities such as ’academics, social relationships, finances, daily hassles and family relationships’ (Brougham, 2009, pg 86). As student, academics is the reason why we are in school; we are aiming to get educated and to learn. Family relationships vary from student to student depending on how close the family is. My immediate family and extended family have such a close bond that when I am needed at home, I drop everything for them. Social relationships are smaller support systems individuals can count on. Finances all come down to economic status and a person’s unique financial aid package. Daily hassles range from what I should wear today to not having enough time in a day.…
