Personal Narrative: Moving Back To School

It was one of those beautiful August morning, the kids had just started school. Suddenly I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. I decided to go back to work only to realize that as I was busy raising the Children, the world had moved on without me. I could not perform the normal simple tasks that used to be easy, everything had changed .from new and improved syringe’s, to new charting systems. Technology in hospitals and even modern health care offices has evolved tremendously and is still evolving. Before I knew it, I was thinking of going back to school. This would not only help me with all the modern technological changes, but it would also improve our financial stability while making me more marketable, and knowledgeable by gaining
current modern technological skills that would help me become successful in the employment industry.
Hence the cumbersome task of figuring out how to go back to school as an Adult. This change is not an easy one. For instance where would the resources to come from. As I seek new opportunities in this economy. Will it affect the family dynamics positively or negatively while striking a balance at being a successful student and a parent all at the same time making sure the rest of the family are note ignored. How is this going to affect the normal day to day activities of not just the children but the spouse? Will the family suffer if I stayed up all night studying for midterms while the husband played Mr. Mom role.
According to the College Learning Century (2008) report, “Employers want college graduates to acquire versatile knowledge and skill. Most of the returning adults do not have the skills they need to succeed in the global economy as I had just discovered. Since I had a few hours in my day, I decided to try and work some sort of schedule that will allow me to succeed in this changing world. In order to reinvent myself with the changes of this modern world of technology.
