Decent Essays
I have personal goals that are motivating me to pursue my degree. The two most important is, I want to be a well-educated person in the area that I am most interested in, which is business management. Also a degree would be very helpful in obtaining a better job opportunity to help my husband make a better life for our family. I feel I will not be able to accomplish these goals without further education.
I was attending Kaplan University Online from December 2010 to September 2012. Things got pretty bad for my husband and I, as far as financially. We couldn’t afford everything and the internet on top of everything else. So we had to make some hard decisions and one was that I drop out of college. I have to admit that I did it the wrong way.
