Why I Want To Pursue My Degree?

Since moving to the United States, a land of opportunity, I followed the immigrant tradition of working hard to pursue my passion/ambition to study and get my degree. I started attending community college a year after I came to the United states. I spent three years at Northern Virginia Community College and transferred to the university of Virginia to earn a B.A degree. I have always kept a full-time job while attending community college to cover my living expenses and help my parents back home Throughout my journey of achieving a higher degree, I learned how to work hard and how to overcome challenges in my own personal and academic life. Now I am very confident in achieving my goals.

I ended up racking up 96 credit hours at a community college. I started to fall more in love with my job and had the opportunity to travel so I decided to leave my schooling since I could not figure out what I wanted to do, and focus all my attention on my job to move up.

Twenty-six years ago. I began the quest to find the perfect college. As I drove down the driveway of Bay Path College, I knew this was the college I was going to attend. I was drawn to the rural setting, the beautiful campus and the small academic community. My intent for life after high school was to get my associates degree, earn some money, then begin working toward my bachelor degree. In retrospect, I did not possess the confidence or drive needed to be a good student. I struggled for the next couple of years to earn my Associates degree, however was apprehensive to commit to the time or expense it would take to continue my education. After a very long break in schooling, I now approach education with a new mindset and ready to commit

Coming back to school after being away for 17 years has been one of the most emotionally taxing endeavors I've experienced. My career experience was working in the quality control field. Being apart of the industry was very satisfying until the point in which the 2008 recession hit. Having to go through the uncertainty of being laid off and the frustration of trying to reenter the work force with only a high school diploma brought into focus that I needed to finish the bachelor degree I had started. While attempting to find gainful employment I took the opportunity to begin the process of transferring to a school here in California. I had originally started my degree in Lincoln, Nebraska, but moved out to California with my significant other.

I know with my great experience, drive, and future college education from CCU that great things are not too far ahead. Another event that caused me to venture back into the college arena is the insatiable appetite I have for knowledge. When I started my college search this last time I really looked closely at what all the schools had to offer. I found CCU and I felt like my search had ended but my journey had just begun. College has always been a place I enjoyed going, it is a symbol to me that there is hope for a better tomorrow. WKU, the college I attended straight out of high school, brings back some of the best memories I have ever experience. It gave me a sense of pride when I passed my classes, it improved my social skills, and it brought me closer to my responsibilities. I believe that with an associate’s degree from CCU in Healthcare Administration new doors will open, opportunities will knock. In wrapping up this essay, it seems that there are many events in play that have influenced me not only to future my education, but to attend CCU as

In the Fall of 2013 I decided not to retune to college. I started college in the Fall of 2008 after high school graduation. Many things made my college career difficult, but I had always found a way to make things work. Until I decided I needed a year off to get things done in my life. Many factors played into my decision to take a year off of school; class schedule options, getting married, and my business, were the three major reasons that pushed me to take a year off. I started my college career at UW-River Falls.

I want to go to college so I can learn and be prepared for the real world. College is a place where I can get a fresh start. I can be a better person by how I matured in high school and becoming the man I am. I can break out and be who I want to be because of some peer pressure I had in high school. I want to meet people that will be my friends for a long time. My Mom had a college friend over this weekend and they shared some stories with me and I want to be able to tell my kids stories with my best friend. College education will give me the opportunity to pursue and learn something that I love. College gives me the chance to have my own responsibilities. I want to show my parents that they raised a smart

It was my brief employment with ElDirect and caring for the same client on a regular basis that helped me make the decision to go back to school. In late 2009 I had decided to go back to school and applied at NWAAC. I was accepted to NWACC and started classes in the Spring of 2010. When I began my journey attending school again, I did not realize having a family, working part time, going to school part time, and having a learning disability, would be so

I feel that taking some time away after graduating Rider really reminded me of why I majored in education. After facing a medical issue, I needed to step away from substituting and get a job that offered full benefits. Even though I spent two years away from schools, my passion for both my subject matter and instruction has not diminished. Even in my current role I act as a coach and a teacher. As a shift supervisor for starbucks I am in charge of running my team. As well as being a supervisor, I became a certified barista trainer so that I could teach our new hires. Although I took a brief hiatus from teaching in a classroom, my time away has allowed me to learn more and become a more calm, well rounded

Unlike many people who attended college after they graduated from high school I was not one of them. I chose to be a wife and a mother of two; later after my children were grown and my first marriage was over I realized I needed a change. I decided to attend a community college taking the traditional classroom courses. It was a major struggle for me because I was working full-time and part-time jobs while working on an Associates Degree. What should have taken me only two years to complete it took me four because I was not able to work in all the classes needed to graduated in a two year time period my work crazy hours and take care of my family would not allow it. After getting my Associates Degree I knew I wanted to continue my

Before I started researching, I really did not understand the concept of being a dietitian, except that they had some part in nutrition. While I didn’t have a particular interest in learning about the documents professionals come across in their daily lives, I thought it would still be vital information. Something I was curious to find out is how colossal are the differences between being a student and a professional. I also wanted to learn the difficulties professionals might have working in this field. Another question I had tugging at my curiosity was what opportunities would accompany this degree? Of course, I had what must’ve been a thousand more questions swishing around my brain. Frankly I was slightly
