One of my hardest decisions was to come to school at Mideast. I almost considered going back to my home school at the beginning of my first year, but i'm happy I stayed. Because I will have more opportunities in the work force. For example my lab got me a job at Neff’s during the summer for landscaping. It was a good job for the summer and it paid way better than minimum wage.
Mideast has taught me to strive for greatness. My lab instructor shows us all how to work hard and not be lazy. He also has shown us many useful skills for use after high school.
Mideast wasn’t how I pictured it at first it’s a lot different than the tours from 8th grade show. You have so much more freedom to do things here. Mideast gives you a better taste of what
One of the most difficult decisions I had to make was which high school I should attend. I understood that this was going to be a major descsion that would set a path for my life There were two high schools that I was considering. I was deciding between New Berlin Eisenhower and Wisconsin Lutheran High School. These two schools both had pros and cons to them.
The difficult decision I have ever made was either administrating into Moreau or either continuing with my local high. With that heartbreaking dissection, I have made a choice, that I would administrate for Moreau. Also, because my uncle always desired the best for me. I have also acquired that trying your best and applying your best, can draw you into more situations than ever before. Precisely like me when I was required to proceed to Washington, but then I made a decision that I should attend into Moreau.
I am in my mid-thirties and going back to school. I would have to say that my children are the primary reason behind this decision. I am their role model and teacher and I intend to be the best one possible. I want to show my children the endless possibilities of hard honest work. I want to send them to college and live comfortably. Throughout my personal experience, I have learned that anything is possible even while I am balancing a family, multi jobs and school.
An event in my life that has influenced me to go to school is my youngest son leaving home to go to college. I am very closed to my son so when he leave I am going to be so alone and heart broken. He is leaving to Cal State Northridge in July. I need something to do so I won’t feel so lonely. And I do have older son also at college couple years ago. Another reason I am going to college now so I have something in common with my youngest son. What we have in common is we both are going to college to take business class. I am a business owner at El Monte California doing Marble Tiles that is another reason I go back to school. I hope to learn something new to help improve my business. My husband also encourage me to go
Returning back to school was a very natural decision for me. It seemed to be the next logical step in my personal and career goals. My ultimate goal is to be happy and healthy and be a good provider and role model. With that set aside for now, my next goal is to be financially stable and able to provide for my family in ways that my family was not able to provide for me. I definitely expect to work for what I want and earn every bit of it. The most recent motivator was that my company was willing to contribute a huge chunk of the yearly tuition, therefore removing some financial burden. This makes me feel like they truly care about my future and they really want to see me succeed.
Early College High Schools (ECHS) are innovative high schools that allow students least likely to attend college an opportunity to earn a high school diploma and 60 college credit hours. Early College High Schools:
I knew when I started college I would get home sick sometimes, so I did not want to be so far that I would have to just stay on campus. Being homesick is what makes a lot of college student’s drop out and sometimes even their parents encourage them to go home. I did not want to stop chasing my dreams because I would be homesick. I have a couple of family members that dropped out of college because they felt that they were alone and thought they needed their family to survive. I try not to go home every weekend because I know those are the hardest goodbyes to me because I love my family so much. I know that doing all of this work and having God on my side will bring me
Going back to college was a huge decision for me. I was nervous about what classes were to come and how hard they may be. I had to decide to take the high road and better my future for my family. Juggling work, school, and being a single mom of a two-year old has been tough, but I have enjoyed learning to reach my ultimate goal of graduation.
My mind got tired and I did not feel like making the effort so I left school. My parents encouraged me to enroll somewhere else to get an education.
I made the decision to go back to school for many different reasons. I saw it as an opportunity to continue my education, potentially make more money in my career and prove to myself that I could accomplish this goal. Even after, placing this personal goal on hold for the past ten years, having three children and working. I knew this would definitely help me in the long run. It has always been dream of mine to graduate from college. To do what only two of my family members before me have done. Growing up in Compton, California. College wasn't an option for most, however I was fortunate enough to have parents who believed in me and my sisters and really pushed us to continue to further our education. I believe moving forward if I stay persistent
The last big decision I made was about changing schools. I was a day student at the Gaffney site and lived on campus. While I was living in Gaffney, my papa began to experience health problems. Before I moved to Gaffney for school I took care of my papa so that my parents and grandma could work. When health problems put my papa in the hospital, I had to choose to stay in Gaffney or move back home. After talking with my parents, my grandma, and my advisor I decided to transfer to the Greenville site, so that I could be with my papa. The decision I made to move home worked out great. I was able to find a job, I enjoy going to school in Greenville, and my papa’s health has improved so much that he is back at work.
My seven and a half years in the Army were well worth my time, and I am a proud veteran of the United States. After my sixth year in the Army, I decided that I have served enough and I needed to move closer to my family. I have satisfied my want to travel both near and far. My academic journey was not easy, but unique to me. I will never forget the first time I received a low GPA and failed my first class. It did not stop me from pursuing an education, instead it was a learning lesson. I took every negative outcome and turned it into a positive one. I became desperately devoted to my education because I saw knowledge as the key to freeing myself from the chains of
I went back to school with the simple goal of getting my degree and moving ahead in my career. School, education and obtaining my degree were always important to me, since my profession requires a bachelor degree to qualify for national certification, it was a better
