Returning to School

When I returned back to school there were many changes that I had to make in order to

be fully dedicated to my studies such as, mainlining proper time management skills. Learning

how to implement working, taking care of my children, household chores, daily errands, children

activities, and children homework. I have had to learn how to focus on every aspect pertaining to

my life and education for the better of my children and myself. This has been no easy task,

for there are more changing that must be done in order to successfully complete my studies and

    In the future I can make sure that I set aside enough studying time, I will participate in class discussions, and read even when I am not asked to. In my previous semester I found the live discussions to be very helpful. I will also contact my tutors when I need to and visit the school library. Other things that I will do is to make sure that I have a balance to reduce chaos, and feel passionate about what I want. I will learn to be more open-minded. I will allow others to share their views on different learning techniques. Being a person that find it easier to learn visually, I had never thought to use symbols and pictures as learning tools. Finally, I will make sure that my short and long term goals are set. Once I am focused on these goals, my determination in school will grow stronger and I will work harder. After I earn my associates degree I am planning to pursue an administrative position. My English classes are an asset to such a position since I will have many reading and writing tasks. I will make sure that I am passionate about what want. I suppose all of the changes would fall…

    Why I Returned to College

    • 665 Words

    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. Why would a person that is in the middle of their career want to return to school? The answer to this question is that it’s a personal goal I’ve had for years to obtain a college degree. I have started and stopped several times due to my deployments and family commitments. I have tried on different occasions to start back but the military makes it almost impossible to plan ahead and commit to anything long term.…

    I’m going to start with the pros. For me going back to school after being off for 5 years was a huge step. I haven’t studied anything for a long time and was not sure how I would do. It made me very nervous to think that if I didn’t do well, I would have to retake the class or possibly just give up on college. Once I realized that I could do well in college, it was all just the matter of registering and being accepted.…

    I went to college for the first time right after high school and learned very quickly that I did not know why I was there. I attained a job, thinking I would return when I decided what I wanted to be. The second time I went to college, I was in my early thirties, and because of the daycare I had been providing in my home, decided I should pursue a degree in early education. By the time I finished my general education courses, I changed my mind. I no longer wanted a degree in early education, and did not know what degree I wanted. Once again I quit college with a decision to return, once I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Many years went by and during those years I worked different low-level low-pay jobs.…

    At 27 years old I find myself in a great dilemma; should I accept the fact that I have reached my full potential at a career I have worked long and hard at? Although I am content for now, I know that my sense of accomplishment will soon fade and I will regret not having improved myself for the future. This brings on the inevitable question, should I return to school? The answer is clear to me, I must return to school in order to become the person I want to be. An education is the single most important thing one can obtain in a lifetime. It can offer a whole spectrum of benefits throughout one's life, but the most important are that it creates opportunities for advancement in the workplace, influences others to become educated, and helps to develop a more informed community.…

    Why Return to School?

    As a young adult, I had made a major decision and commitment to return to school. I wanted a career that I would enjoy doing and be able to separate my life between home and work; I can be myself while I’m at work. Based on my decision to return to school was challenging for me because I was not sure on what I wanted as my career. I did some research and found out that I wanted to be a teacher because I love working with children. I feel that being an early childhood development teacher would be best for me because working in this field would give me the pleasure to really work with them and help them learn. College is important to me because it means so much for me to get an education in my profession and live comfortable and I can take care of my family.…
