Attending college and pursuing a bachelor's degree has been an educational goal of mine for many years. To attain that goal, I conducted research to find a school with a degree plan that mirrors my current career in the US Army. Currently, I am enrolled at Franklin University to attain that goal. While attending Franklin University, I plan on completing a degree in Operations and Supply Management Chain. I decided to choose this degree because I currently work in the field of Logistics in the United States Army.
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.
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
What motivated me to enroll at GCU and pursue a degree in higher education is to live my dreams and to also to let my grandfather live to see his wish comes to pass. My grandfather is my biggest motivation growing up with my grandparents from I was nine months old until I migrated to the united states for college give me a great inspiration about education, my grandmother always uses to teach me how to read adult books, when I was just a third grader. She would normally say if I can not read the adults book I must read all the sign words I know and pronouns the big words in syllables. My grandmother plays the mother figure in my life during that time frame, I become a great reader and use to be the honor student in school, two years after my grandmother was admitted to a hospital to do a
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 intend to complete my BA in political science and go on to law school. I chose a Liberal Arts degree because I believed it would make me a better rounded person. My degree allows me plenty of flexibility to take on two minors, History and English. Both of these minors are going to be a great help when it comes to my studies as a law student and will also be beneficial when I am in the
After graduating from high school, I had a 14 year gap in my education. When I first graduated high school, I inherited a house that I needed to pay for and maintain. In order to do this I got a full-time job immediately upon graduating. For the next several years I worked first in a deli and then doing direct care for developmentally challenged adults. None of these jobs were very fulfilling for me so when I found a job that I really enjoyed, I stuck with it. I have been with my current employer for the past 12 years.
Fear of the unknown is humankind's greatest fear of all. Sienkiewicz understood that knowledge is power and to overcome the fear of helplessness we must seek out the answers. We build shelters of ingenuity to weather the storms and hurricanes, we shed light into darkness with torches of knowledge, and we fend off the lions with spears of intellect. When it is all said and done, educated individuals are better prepared to navigate fear of the unknown with new found insight and confidence.
As far back as I can remember I knew I would go to college and earn a degree. The field of study was always changing but the desire never wavered. The path to accomplishing this goal has not been an easy feat but my favorite quote "the only real failure in life is the failure to try – anonymous" continues to be my driving force.
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 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.

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 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
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
