Reason For Returning To College

The reasons I have decided to go back to school is because I want to further my education to better myself as a single mother, and I want to show my children that you should never give up on your goals no matter how challenging life can be. Also, I chose to go back to school so that I can boost my son's confidence level so when he does homework, I will be right by his side doing mines whether its researching, reading, or typing papers. My ultimate goal for using this degree is to receive additional pay through my employer once I have obtained my degree. Secondly, I want to expand my career in law

Six years after graduating High School, I have finally decided to pursue a college education. Three, fairly common, factors played in to my decision to go back to school: learning new things, building confidence in myself and pursuing my desired career. I understand that graduating college is a difficult task, which is why I must make a plan for my success and stick to it. I must also rely on my personal strengths and my motivation to guide me through the tough times that I am sure to experience on my road to success to get my degree in Criminal Justice. I have always been a person who is eager to learn new things.

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.

I decided to go back to school for many reasons. First of all, it's always been a personal goal of mine to get a bachelor's degree. Over the years, I have taken courses to get close to that goal but I haven't been successful with completing it yet due to life experiences. Another reason I have decided to return to school is because I realize it's going to help with my career. I know getting a degree won't necessarily guarantee a promotion or raise but I believe it will provide more opportunities along the way. My ultimate goal for obtaining this degree is to use it towards getting a Master's degree.

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

My reasons for returning to school may seem a bit selfish but let me explain. I have been an EMT and Paramedic for the past 28 years. The areas for advancement in this field are far and few between. Although I have over 10 years of experience as a supervisor, to be considered for a Director position, a Bachelor's Degree is required and here I am.

I have so many reason why I wanted to attend DCCC and each decision that I make at DCCC is that I’m gonna face it till the very end of my courses. I always wonder how can I get a step further in life and how can I get my stuff done and start early and there was an option that was given to me in my 8th grade year and it was a sign up for an orientation for Yadkin Valley Regional Career Academy a school where you can learn how to start you career and be professional looking/acting when applying for a job that suit you better. I came to Yadkin Valley for orientation where you can check the school out, but I had a little problem I didn’t have my glasses so couldn’t really see how the school look because my eyes were blurry, but I notice that I really didn’t need to see just listen to the teachers and how they talk and communicate and how they tell us what we be learning and discover while we are here at Yadkin Valley and what they have in store for us and then I heard a

There are a few key reasons why I want to return to school to earn an MBA. First and foremost, returning to school will be an excellent chance to expand my career opportunities. Currently I am an optometrist in the United States Army and I am the Chief of the Optometry Clinic at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. This is a great assignment, and I chose a rewarding career in optometry. I really do enjoy caring for patients and their vision. But I like having options. I currently manage a staff of sixteen, and they present me with more challenges on a daily basis than most of my patients do. After having had this management opportunity, I realize that I enjoy managing people and I like solving organizational problems. Earning an MBA will

3. What are your immediate and post-graduation career goals? My post graduation career goal is to start a career or even a job with my degree. I would love to work at an actual business with an office setting or a firm of some sort; no more manual labor. An

Going back to school has definitely been a great challenge for my family and me. I had to learn all over again, to juggle between school, work and family. Leaning how to write a paper in the APA format was initially a struggle. I am so glad that I decided on going back to school. I did not realize the difference and importance of having a BSN vs ADN degree. According to Wagner, there will be “greater opportunity for career advancement, improved prospects for job mobility and security and higher potential earning” (as cited in American Sentinel, 2013, para 2). Wagner also believes “there is no way that nurses can get all of the needed knowledge with only an ADN degree” (as cited in American Sentinel, 2013, “Greater Opportunities”, para

I first attended Olympic college as a running start student in 2011, and while I’ve never been the best student was determined to succeed in getting my associates by 2013. I met my goal, and after graduation I transferred to Montana State University in Bozeman. Before I arrived in Bozeman though my health had begun to deteriorate. By december of that year I ended up in the city's hospital, much to my misfortune, on finals week. The transition to college, on top of dealing with chronic depression, and having come out as transgender (and having begun that transition) weighed on me to where I could no longer handle it, and I tried to end my own life.

Going back to school requires a lot of planning especially at our age, I am 47 years old and just like you, there were questions regarding going back to school that required the use of my critical thinking more than ever to be able to come up with the correct answer and ultimately a decision.

I chose to come back to school just to get more education under my belt. I'm a homeschool graduate who currently works for Louisiana roofing and P&A handyman services. I like to stay busy so adding school to my schedule will keep me happy. I'm a pretty short and blunt to the point guy so I know what i want and i get it so, that is the reasons I chose to come back to get more education. Plus it will help with my line of work. I worked with the flood recovery down here in Louisiana and i helped remodel houses after the flood. I have also been on mission trips multiple times to Guatemala helped with the kids and helped on dorm construction and construction on a church there. I played baseball in high school so that really taught me a good work

This question is a little complex for me because I have to remember why I took that decision back in 1997, when I did my Bachelor Degree in my native country Mexico. I recall how important was for my parents and for me was the only way to explore knowledge, one of my drives as person is to find out the "why's" of everything. Attending college gave me that opportunity to found the answers and also to explore different perspectives of how to live my life. Now the I'm back to college the reasons might be different but the necessity of knowledge has been present all this years.

By going back to school and getting my degree I am opening up potentially lots of doors for myself in the future. I am setting a good example for my boys and that no matter what age you are, it is never too late to go back to school and further your education. Education is the key to opening up positions in the workplace that someone without an education would not be able to pursue. The benefits will far out way the time and work that it will take for me to complete my degree. This will be something that I can be proud of and prove to myself and others that no matter how hard the goal may seem or how long it may take you to reach the end results, it is always worth it to follow your dreams. I am extremely motivated to accomplish this goal for myself.
