Reasons To Return 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.

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.

My mom is a food service worker and my dad was a christmas tree farmer. Although we never had a lot of money, we made things work. We never went on any vacations and I wasn’t able to play sports because they cost too much, but that was okay because we were together and happy. Now that my dad is no longer here to support us, we have been struggling. The mortgage is always behind, something always seems to be shut off in our house as a result of not being able to pay the bills, and the pantry isn’t as full as it used to be. Financial issues has also been affecting my education. As I’m applying to colleges, I find myself limited in the number of schools I can apply to because not all colleges have fee waivers I can’t afford to pay several fees to apply to as many colleges as I’d would like to. I’ve also had hesitation in going to college just because of the cost of it. My goal in life is to become a doctor, which, normally takes around eight years. Eight years of college is not cheap, and the idea of having to pay thousands of dollars has scared

A couple of months later I heard about a program that offers work experience, and helps with college assistance. I was excited thinking I finally found help. I went in to fill out the paperwork, and was told I wasn't eligible to receive college assistance; again I was disappointed. The doors to succeed kept closing. The good news was they were able to help me get a part time job with a housing agency. My coworkers encouraged me to continue my education. They also motivated me to keep trying. Since no one would to help me, I knew I would have to start doing something on my own. My only option would be paying out of pocket attending a community college, and holding a part time job. I knew I couldn’t afford to attend full time, so I decided to enroll in two classes and work part time. I told myself they were baby steps and I would eventually “get there someday”. In the very first month I got a slap of reality when all the fees were due and I had to buy textbooks and supplies. Still, it was worth it and every day I woke up and was grateful to be attending

After making the decision to go back to school, I began to wonder what career would I pursue and which college to attend. Discovering the many benefits of being a student at Louisiana State University at Eunice made it an easy decision. Because I chose to attend LSUe, I am able to have a work-life balance at a small college that offer many different opportunities.

I have been working for the same company for 16 years, I really like my job. The pay is good, the benefits are incredible but there is no other positions available for me to move up. One option for me was to look for another job but my family depends on me financially. I’m the only income and having kids and insurance being so high out of pocket I just can’t afford it. I know that I can get a better job but the fear of me not making it, or not being hired right away is holding me back. After talking to my husband and kids and them pushing me to go back to school I was motivated and eager to start a new experience. My two main stressors are school work and one income family. Going back to school would bring me more bills but thinking

As a return student, there were many obstacle I remember during my two years of college however, the harder things got the more ambitious I become until I reached my goal, and successful graduating. There were many factors that came across on procuring my BA for example, I have a family of my own I hold a full-time job aside from life challenges, and daily routine to get through the day. Beforehand learning about GCU I went through two different University unsuccessfully however, that didn’t stop me luckily, I learn through my employee about GCU.
