Academic Life Thus Far...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week! I have been out of high school for almost six years now. It took me a while to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. After graduating, I took a few classes at a local community college but I never really had any direction. After much prayer and research, I finally have decided that I want to be a registered nurse one day. However, it is virtually impossible for me to go to college full-time. I am a stay at home mom to two very young children and my son is currently going through speech therapy so a lot of my time is spoken for :-) (but it is very worth it!) I decided to look into different online schools so I could go ahead and take some classes and discovered Kaplan University and realized that I could get my associate's degree for medical assisting online and wouldn't have to worry about getting back and forth to school and worry about who is going to take care of my children! Since starting my classes back in April, it has changed me in so many ways! I am much more motivated now and it has also helped me to become more disciplined as well. I want to show my kids that you can do anything you set your mind to, and I hope to be a good example to them. I can't wait to get my degree, and everytime I get an assignment turned in I know I am getting closer and closer to that goal. :-) I hope everyone has a great week and I will see you all in class!!!
