My plan right now is to work on my bachelor’s degree. That is the first priority in my life. Currently I am an E-5 in the Navy. I have a year left at my current command. I have a goal to finish my bachelors in the next two and a half years. I have a year left on my current contract now. In the service, we call the number of years we have enlisted for contracts. I signed up for 3 years and February of 2017 my contract will be up. I plan on reenlisting for another 3 years to finish up my degree and save more money. My job I am doing right now involves Intel. I have been doing this for the past 6 years that I have been in the Navy. I am currently trying to rerate. Rating in the service is what we call our jobs. Each branch of the service has a different name for it but the navy call what our jobs are …show more content…
I am trying to rerate to become a paralegal. Law and legal work seems more interesting to me while I am in the service and is a better fit for me then being in the intel community. I know that I would enjoy it more being involved with people and learning about the laws of the military. If I cannot get another job while I am in the service I still plan on re-enlisting for another 2 to 3 years anyway. I want to get my bachelor degree in Management Information Systems. I love the combination of Business and Information Systems and I feel that will be more competitive in the civilian world if I have a mixture of both fields. My plan is not to stay in the service for 20 years. I really find business to be fascinating. Business is a field that is constantly changing, things are being created, its fast paced, and in constant motion. The service can be stifling. My intentions were to only due a 4-year tour however, I did not want to get out of the service without my degree. It wasn’t until recently I figured out what I wanted to do for college. I reenlisted for another 3
I have currently received my associates of science degree in criminal justice from Southwest Tennessee Community College. I decided to further my education and obtain my bachelors degree in criminal justice to explore more opportunities. I believe that going back to school will help give me the tools necessary to excel as a criminal justice professional. When I was in high school criminal justice was always something I was interested in learning about. I wanted to know more about the criminal justice system and how cops, courts, and corrections operate with one another. Once I enter into the criminal justice field and begin working as a professional with my bachelors I will become more remarkable to employers. This degree will also give me
All high schoolers face the same daunting problem. What they are going to do with their lives. A choice made as an 18 year old, determines future paths for the rest of their lives. Recently the subject of going to college and getting a four year degree has become very controversial. HIgh school students are choosing other alternatives, such as trade school, community college, or even not getting any further education at all. However even with many other options, going to college and getting a bachelor's degree is valuable for everyone.
Deciding to pursue a degree was an easy decision because I didn’t choose to further my education for normal reasons. My two reasons on why I went back to school are because of competition and pride. The first being competition comes from the fact that I’m one of twelve children. Sibling rivalry is a very real thing and competing against eleven other individuals to show how you fit in the food chain is difficult. Only three of my siblings have completed their college education two of them graduating with a master in their fields as well as having 3.5 or higher GPA. As for the other sibling, she recently graduated with her bachelors with 3.9 and has been recently accepted into her master’s program. I’m one of three who is currently going to college
The healthcare industry is ever changing. New treatments and medications are being developed on an everyday basis. Nurses do have the privilege and responsibility of either helping to make advances in medicine, or evaluating how effective the new medications and treatments are. Nurses are the most prevalent healthcare worker out there, and they have the most contact with patients allowing them to evaluate how the patient is progressing or declining. Since nursing began every nurse had a choice as to what level of education they wanted to obtain. There are essentially three entry levels of education that a nurse may select from; the first is almost non-existent and that is a certificate, the next and perhaps the most common is the Associates degree, and the last that may become a requirement is a Bachelor’s degree. Requiring Nurses to have their Bachelors of Science in nursing is not beneficial to the nurse, patient, or facility.
I’ve been in the administrative professional field for over twenty years and I really enjoy the career field that I am in. For ten years I have been working as a government contractor for the Medical Countermeasures Joint Project Management Office as the Operations Coordinator / Lead Defense Travel Administrator headquartered at Ft. Detrick, Maryland. In April 2015, I was promoted to a new position within the organization that I work at. I am now the Management Support Assistant. Besides being responsible for the entire organizations travel, I also support the Director of Operations to include Human Resource functions. In this new role within the organization it is providing me the opportunity to lean more and grow. My goal once I have my degree is to move into the
After viewing the video, I realized how significant it’s for me to obtain my degree. I’m going to work hard for my degree to show my parents that all their sacrifices were worth it. I am willing to stay up late every night doing homework and studying. When I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to drink coffee to help me stay up. If I get discouraged, I’m going to go sleep early, knowing tomorrow will be a new day.
I am a disabled military veteran who served ten years in the U.S. Air Force with two tours in the Middle East. I have pursued many interests to fruition with my first being in audio production and music engineering. My interest in music production began as a hobby, but grew to acquiring a formal education for which I earned a certificate in audio production from the Berklee School of Music in Boston and opened and operated Serial Sound Studios, a local music studio. During my time running the studio I got the opportunity to teach music production classes for Sandhandle Workshops, I found I had an interest in teaching and decided to sell my studio to go back to school and pursue a degree in teaching. At first I was inclined to studying music, but after taking English Composition 2 at Northwest Florida State College with Dr. Deidra

I was born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and I don't remember much of my childhood since my family moved around a lot. As a child, my family and I have been to Malawi, Zimbabwe and South Africa. I started living in the United States in 2009 and for the most part, it feels like I've spent most of my life here. I recently graduated from the University of Maryland with a bachelor's degree in Bioengineering (12/20/17). I am very passionate about helping others. I pursued a degree in bioengineering because I thought working on medical devices was the only way I could contribute to society and drive my passion. However, in my senior year, I realized that working directly with a customer (doctor) and helping them solve their problems was more in line
I am interested in South Dakota School of Mines and Technology because I my parents went to SDSMT, and they always spoke highly of it, and I have seen that it is a fairly well known engineering school.
Hello, I’m Alex. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from Rice University, where I graduated summa cum laude with honors. My Master’s degree came from Rutgers University, where I studied English Literature. I also graduated from Rutgers with my PhD at the end of 2015. Rutgers has an intensive curriculum for their English program that requires students write at top academic journals and develop syllabi for teaching. As a graduate student, this put me in the position of teaching various courses for incoming freshman. I also worked as a tutor for the writing department at Rice. During that time I also worked with elementary and middle schoolers in various subjects. My specialty is English Literature, and I also excel at helping students of any age
My goal has always been to receive an education that will allow me to continue on to a career that will help others. I haven't always made the best grades throughout high school, however, now that I have reached my senior year I am realizing the significant impact my grades will have on my life. This year I am going to focus and corroborate with all my classes to bring my GPA and grades up. My goal for the future is to obtain my Bachelors Degree in Accounting, then possibly after college find a nice job to flourish at , then commit to furthering my degree to a Masters. One of the activities that have influenced my life is Golf, I think Golf has influenced my life because it is the hardest game in the world to me. It teaches me that you
According to the phrase “All that matters is how things end up and not how one gets there” could not be any truer in my case. The major I am aiming for is nursing, there are many different directions I could have taken to earn my associates or my bachelors degree. From Universities or Community colleges, I would have gone to University of Utah due to financial reasons and living with seven others, Oakland Community College is the best option for my endeavors into getting into the Associate's Degree in Nursing program. Attending at a Community College is beneficial as going to a University as a first choice.
I have been in the wireless industry for twelve years and in an area sales manager for ten of those years. While I have a solid resume as far as experience in leadership, I know I could be looked over if I do not have a degree. That is one of the main reasons I decided to get my degree and another reason is self-accomplishment. I will be the first person in my immediate family to get my degree. Once I get my degree in organizational leadership, I plan to start looking for a job in Human Resources to get experience in that field while I am getting my masters in Human Resource management.
I just completed the requirements for my Associates Degree and am now pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree. The hardest part for me when I started the online college was managing my time. I am married and have two sons. One is serving our country and the other is a sophomore in high school. I live an active lifestyle and have lots of work at home to keep up with. I enjoy exercising when I can, and am very involved in our church. So, when I decided to apply to college I had no idea how I was going to make it work. It took me a few weeks to figure out how to manage my time to make sure I could complete the work required of me. I scheduled my days in advance and create a routine that provided me the time needed to complete my requirements for each
