School

In high school, I always planned to go to college after I graduated. Instead, I had my first child when I was 18. Almost five years later, I am married with three children, and also work full time. It wasn't until about a year ago that I started thinking about college again. I really want to be able to provide for my family, and allow my kids to have a good life. The job where I am at now has plenty of potential to move up, but a degree is required, just like a lot of jobs. Luckily, Kaplan has just what I need. With a busy home and work life, online classes just made sense! I can go (almost) at my own pace, do homework when I find time, and still get the degree I need and want without having to worry about driving to and from class, and getting a babysitter for my kids. It is stressful at times, but it is definitely worth it! Going back to school was a great decision, I just wish I had done it a couple years earlier! It keeps me busier than I have ever been, including taking care of my kids and working full-time, but I can't wait to have my degree and be able to work in the medical field for the rest of my life!
