Returning_to_School

English 121: English Composition I Darian Fisher Prof William Johnson Returning to school was a big challenge for me. When I graduated high school, I had no hopes of going to college. I knew I loved working with children and thought I could babysit and open my own daycare. After I realized that you have to have education to open a business like that. It dawned on me to go back to school. I decided to return to school to get my bachelors in early childhood education because I love working with children. I want to pursue my bachelors in Early Childhood Education because I love working with children. I also want to get my masters in Education with a concentration in Higher Education. I would love to teach college classes someday. I also want to get my Ph.D in curriculum and Instruction, I would love to be a school Principal or a Dean of a college. I will be the first in my family to have earned a college degree. With these degrees, I plan to open a Day Care, an afterschool program center, and Adult Education Center. The benefits of my degree will allow me to be a positive role model, make a difference in a childs life, and will also allow me to give back to my community. This is how I can contribute to my community, being a role model for a child. Many people do not realize it but children look up to you as a role model in their life. They might get something from you more than they get at home. I had a good role model when I was coming up in school and I thanked him for being there for me when I did not have anyone else to talk to. Making a difference in a child’s life is all that matters. It does not get much better than that. If you play a good role, it will be well rewarded. In the future, they will thank you for it I would love to open a daycare center in my community because I want to be apart of the change that’s about to happen. I’ve had to make some changes in my lifestyle for me to pursue my degree. I had to get back into the habit of studying. I’d go to the library to brush up on some skills like reading, writing, math, history, and so on. Another change I had to make was learning to learn online. I had never taken classes online before and didn’t know what to expect. I plan to use everything I have to complete my degree program successfully. Making schedules and following them so I can have everything submitted on time. I also plan to take advantage of the many resources that the school has to offer so I can be successful in my program. Im glad to have a suporting family and friends who keep me going. If it wasn’t for them encouraging me to go back to school, I don’t know where I would be at this point in my life. Im so ready to graduate so I can prove to others that you can do anything you put your mind to.
