Challenge Of Returning To School
For years I played around with the thought of returning to school, but used the excuse that I do not have the time. I would use work, my children and their activities as reasons to delay finishing my education. Finally, I decided to quit making excuses and complete my degree.
Time is still the one obstacle that will continue to be the one challenge as I return to school, but I will have to learn to manage my time more efficiently. The great thing about Bethel’s online program, is it allows me to attend school at my convenience while not missing out other important moments. It is important to set aside a study time each week and prepare a distraction free area in the home in order to most productive. My plan is to use this simple, yet effective

    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…

    This is a decision that I regret to this day. My grandmother did not raise me to be to a “quitter” and I disappointed not only my family who was so proud and happy for me to get out of the neighborhood but also disappointed myself. I feel that by going back to school will increase my financial situation in two ways. The first way is by having a degree in business I can obtain various positions in the workforce that require my expertise, rather than be confined to just one particular job. By obtaining my degree I feel that it will place me in a situation to have a career rather than just a job.…

    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.…
