No matter where it takes you, if you give it all your effort and utilize the resources available, you will do well. The obstacles I’ve encountered lately financially with a new baby has caused a slight road block, but my mind is still on accomplishing as a wife, mother, and student.

    At first, the financial obligation of attending a community college was somewhat manageable. Admittedly, I had to pay close attention to my budget, but the tuition was not out of my reach. In fact, because of my lower income, I qualified for financial assistance. However, after completing my studies at community college, it was necessary that I attend a four-year institution to complete my degree. In contrast, the expense of attending community college was a sizable difference to attending a four-year institution.…

    I was correct in one aspect of my initial hypothesis, which was that this course would have us navigate through a plethora of information in only five weeks. However, unlike I would have imagined, I truly enjoyed the fast-paced journey. Immediately after I began reading the textbook, I realized that I was able to relate to and even apply much of the material I was learning in my everyday life. I am currently a new mother, so learning about the early childhood years and how critical these years would be for my infant son was so important for me. I immediately began to share the information with my…

Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different methods and be more responsive to one rather than the other. I am a Strong-Willed learner.…

    The courses are great, but we do not exercise enough hands on experience in this field. I believe the way for someone to get the full effect of an accomplishment is do something and be proud of your actions. Mrs. Pullman’s courses gave us a little experience by job shadowing. By shadowing others in this profession gave me a since of hope for the rest of other semesters. After doing this I felt the need to keep on going because I got a glimpse of my prospective future.…
