Filed Application For Graduation
Tuesday, 17. April 2007, 00:03:34
I filed my application to graduate from my community college today after work. I'll be graduating in June! It is only for my two year degree, and I have two degrees and three certificates left to go after that in order to reach my goal, but I am really excited anyway! When I met my husband I put school on hold for years, but now I've come so far. Coming back to school two years ago, I was happier with a better attitude and more self-confidence and now I am going to receive my two year degree with a 4.0. I am well-known on campus; I work there and love my job; I am member of an honors society; and I'm even getting recommended for additional honors in the language department. I am so happy I could burst. All this coming from someone who barely graduated from high school on time (with low grades to boot)! Let this be an example that anyone can follow their dreams. I don’t have much money for the university I am transferring to this fall, but I have faith it will all work out. Time to apply for scholarships overtime! No regrets!

never think that just because you stopped something, that u could never finish it. the only thing that i can say that i never accomplished over the years, is that i did not finish my Cosmetology Course (beautician).
but i can say this. since i started to do "home study" through PCDI (now known as Ashton University) and Penn-Foster Schools, i have gotten my diploma in Web Site Design (to where i'm now taking a second course of), and a diploma in PC Repair as well (to which i was able to finally get a PC that i could use with the course, even though i already have my diploma. but that is not where i want to stop with it. the course i took, was for A+ Certification, which means, that i would be STATE Certified to work as a PC Repair Technician).
since getting those 2 diplomas, i am now enrolled in an Accounting Course (diploma...that i have decided that when i finish the diploma course, im going to continue the class with the Associates Degree Program that takes 4 yrs, and all i have to pay is $38 usd per month)
if you can afford $38 a month, u can afford to go back to school, as so many of the correspondence schools also have High School Diploma Courses as well, for those that did not finish High School.
so, i have this left to say:
NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot do anything, for if they do, then they are just telling you that they couldn't do it themself and don't want to see anyone else succeed at in what they didn't.
@ shopping,
sry i took up all this room, but i have a habit of "type talking" when i can't speak to the person directly. i wish u the best of luck in whatever u may do for the future.
tc & enjoy ur future.
