Personal Statement: Full Time Virtual College Student
I currently work full time as a Healthcare Recruiter while attending school as a Full Time Virtual College student. In addition, I take care of my adult sister who is chronically sick and has been unemployed for almost 2 years. I am unfortunate to be in a place where I can be of assistance to my sister and take care of her finanically more than 50% of the time. However, returning to school full time and paying for the cost of attendance while taking care of another adult has created a lot of financial hardship and stress.

While I am trying to find more work and remaining steadfast to my path and responsibilities, I remain grateful to find opportunities like the one your foundation is providing to students like myself. It makes me feel that

In order to pay my tuition, I have to work at least fifteen hours per week and it has become very difficult for me to do that.

    Through UA Early College, I believe the program can help me accomplish my goals of expanding my studies for my majors, prepare me for when I become a full time college student, and uplift my chances of being accepted into college after I graduate high school. The classes that UA Early College offers will benefit me to obtain the information I need to earn the degree for my majors. For instance, the principles of biology 1 and 2, general chemistry, and general physics 1 and 2 are all in which the courses that are required to aid my studies in health science to apply in the work force of dentistry. Also other courses that relates to fine arts would as well assist me for my other major in art so that I may one day be qualified to be an art director.…

    Life has been a bit busier and slightly more challenging since starting online college. Firstly, I wake up every morning at around 7:30am and immediately let my puppy out from her kennel and take her downstairs to then go potty outside. While she’s outside doing her potty duties, I begin to fix a drink and take my vitamins before going back outside to take care of more puppy duties. Afterwards, I fix breakfast and eat whatever I choose to eat for that day. Most of the time it’s either toaster strudels or chocolate chip waffles that I decide to cook in the toaster oven. Once I finish eating, then the puppy and I go back upstairs and I put her in the kennel while I get a shower and ready for the day ahead. Which is a process in itself, from taking the actual shower to fixing my hair, brushing my…

    My husband works construction and there were 6 months this past year in which he was laid off. During that time I picked up two part time jobs so that I may contribute to the family monetarily. It really struck me how hard it was to get a decent paying job without a degree. I made a promise to myself that within the next 5 years I may have to work part time jobs during the winter, but I would work toward my degree as well so that way I can get a good job so if my husband gets laid off we aren’t struggling as much as we were this past…
