Personal Narrative: My Experience At Kaplan University

I am 30 years old and I am the mother of four beautiful children. My children are everything to me. I have a wonderful and supportive husband of 11 years. My family is my inspiration to thrive and to reach the goals I set for myself. In 2012 I tried going back to school at DMACC in Boone, IA. I was taking pre-nursing courses. I had applied to Kaplan University in 2013. I passed the entrance testing and was set up for an interview with the director of nursing there. I had my interview and got the call three days later that I had not been accepted into the program. I felt like a failure.
I continued with classes at DMACC. This threw me into a slump and I felt in the back of my mind I was not good enough. I started to fail classes. In the spring of 2015, I had a house fire. I got behind in my classes and failed again. I sunk into a deep depression. I eventually began therapy and they helped me to build my strength and self-confidence back up.
I have worked hard and believe I can conquer the world. I have a great support system, both in home and so far through CCU. I have learned that life happens. We just need to pick up the pieces and move forward. I have been researching CCU and my major and do believe this is the exact path in which I want to be on. I am so grateful that CCU has given me the opportunity to begin my journey and fulfill my dreams.
I believe that the adult learning program is just what I need. Taking one class at a time is going to help me focus better on that one subject instead of trying to cram for four different classes at one time. I am confident this is the right choice for me and want to thank you for giving me this
