I have had several jobs over the years. The majority of them have been in nursing in one form or

another, my current job is a Certified Nursing Assistant at a nursing home, and prior to that I was

a Certified Nursing Assistant doing private duty for over ten years. I am working towards a

Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare Administration in Long Term Care. I know that once I receive

my degree I will be qualified for a variety of jobs. The job that I would like the most would be a

Administrator in a nursing home. I want to help others who don’t have the means to help

themselves. Most of all I can’t stand seeing elderly people who are not properly cared for,

    I decided to return to school for personal reasons. Returning to school is something that I have thought of doing for a very long time. I guess you could just say that I have been very lazy and procrastinated for a long time. I tried to go to college right out of high school but it did not work out. I thought it was all fun and games and ended up flunking out. I was headed down the wrong path and working in a dead end job. I decided it was time to do something with my life. I wanted to get out of my dead end job. I am now ready to take this important step in my life. I knew it would help me to grow as a person. Most of all I want to better me as a person. That is my motivation for…

    Plus, I wanted to start my own business and what better way to have a successful business than to know everything there is to know before you jump in to deep. I would have to say the benefits of my degree would be seeing single parents like me with goals and dreams and no one to help them fulfill them. With no one to even watch their children, while they try to attempt to start the process. Seeing single parents smile when they have the help that is needed to gain a better life is enough for me. If I just gave up and let the Devil win I wouldn’t be able to help those in need. Everything from computer problem to no lights, and I still made a way. I live by faith and there is nothing better that…

    After careful thought and consideration, I made the desire to return to school into a realistic goal. I had finally come to the conclusion, that it was time to take control of my circumstances, rather than continue to let my circumstances control me. For the first time in twenty years, I have a window of opportunity to fit a degree program into my daily schedule. Returning to school had always been a desire of mine, but in the past, I did not think I had the time or the money to pursue a degree. I was a single mother, I was working all of the time, my children were very young, and half of my wages went to daycare expenses.…

    Why I made the choice to return to college and complete my degree in Business System Administration is unique. I have thought about this for years and it’s a personal goal I want to accomplish. I have a great job in the military teaching new soldiers which is something I love and enjoy. I am ten years away from retiring and looking forward to life after the military.
