Why I Decided to Return Back to School
Why I Decided To Return Back To School School plays a major role in the world today. It seems like the without an education a good job seems impossible to find. However an education is also good if you want to advance. That is why I decided to return to school so that I could advance at my current job. I also wanted a higher education for me. Last but not least I wanted to show my daughter that mommy didn’t just stop school after high school, I went on to college. I am currently a Human Service Assistant and lord knows I love my job. I get to help people and make a difference in their life’s as well as their family. My job is a state job and the benefits are great to but I want to advance. I always told myself after high school that I would go straight to college. Things changed I decided to wait a while and a while turned into five years. I see people that come to my job and maybe work in my field for about three months than they advance. They advance because they have a degree and I told myself that this was it; I’m returning back to school. When I waited to go back to school I watched some of the people that graduated with me. They had great jobs and some had already purchased their first homes. It made me feel low and disgusted with myself. That’s when I said to myself one day “I want to do better”. I wanted to return to school not just to advance at my job but a chapter in my life that I wanted to fulfill would be closed. I could feel good about myself deep down inside. I felt when my class reunion came up I would fit in. We are our children role models. Nine times out of ten they want to be like one of their parents if not both of them. I want my daughter to finish high school and be the best she knows how to be. I want college to be number one on her list of to do things when she graduates. With that being said she should be able to say my mama did it so I know I can too. I told myself that I would never push my

    Deciding to return to school was not a choice for me, but a requirement. I’ve wanted to further my career for years. Life happened so I had to put school on the back burner. After having children and pushing the importance of education to them I knew that I had no choice but to lead by example. I want them to know that it’s possible. Being a leader in my house and at work I have always lead with the motto “I’ll never ask anything of you that I have not done or isn’t willing to do myself”. Staying true to that I’m here and ready to thrive.…

    Returning to school is hard, but returning at age 43 is the hardest decision that I have ever made in my life. Growing up I always felt that I was never smart enough to advance myself in anything, yet alone school. After working many jobs and not climbing fast enough or having the required qualifications for opportunities; I have decided to return to school because I want to make a better life not only for myself, but also for my family. I do not want to have any regrets about not finishing school or “ I should have done this “ while I was younger. I want to be able to provide for my present and future family, and not being able to give them the things they need and want is a big concern of mine.…

    Why I Returned to College

    • 665 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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.…

    Academic Probation

    When I graduated high school I knew I was going to attend college. It wasn’t a question. It was instilled in me as a child that I would be the only one of my siblings to go to school. My brothers would be forced into the military. It was never a desire of mine to attend college. It was more like the expected next step. Needless to say my passion for school was null and void. I attribute my academic standing to this fact. Maybe if I'd thought about what I wanted to do with my life versus just going with what was expected I would've done a little better.…
