Getting Through School

Hey Everyone! I decided to write about how school has influenced me.  I always thought that I would go to college and graduate on time right after high school.  I have always been a really good student, so I figured I would follow in the studious path. Well, I made it through a year and a half before taking a seven year hiatus! I wasn't ready to be a serious student and needed/wanted a break from school.  I took a much longer break then anticipated, but here I am again!  I have no plans on any breaks before I get my associates degree.  I have my daughter to thank for the motivation to go back to school.  I am a single mom supporting the both of us, and I knew I had to do something to enter a career and be able to give her the things she needs and wants to get through life.  I also want to be the best role model for her that I can be, and now days you can't get anywhere without and education.  I have always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, so doing online classes was the only thing that was going to work for me.  Luckily, I found Kaplan and a degree that I could obtain all online!  I am going for medical transcription.  I want to eventually be able to work from home, so that way I can still be a stay-at-home mom who is independent enough to work too!  I guess school has influenced the type of life that I am choosing now to lead.  It has influenced every aspect of my life, from my potential career to the family dynamic that I will be able to have once I graduate.  I hope that answered the topic question!  Have a good week everyone!
