Personal Narrative: My Experience With Associate's Degree

What made me go back to school was the fact I graduated with an associate degree and all the employment offers I received were under fifteen dollars an hour. At first, I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t’ getting better offers on the salary. I thought that once you received some type of extended education via associate’s degree, that it would get better for me. But, as I looked for employment, the offers only got worse. So, I went back into the field of work that I had all my experience in which is diesel mechanic field. I was really trying to get out of it because I was just tired of turning wrenches. I was tired of getting dirty. I realized in order for me to receive the salary that I needed and wanted, I needed a new career, which is in business
management, and that I would have to get a bachelors or master’s degree in order to be up on my game. In my current field as a diesel mechanic, my experience allows me to be paid a higher salary but there is still something missing for me. I do know that I have to continue as a diesel mechanic until I graduate with my bachelor’s degree in business administration. I look forward to beginning this new career in business. I’m making great strides towards my new career by talking to people who already have their own business. I try to network every chance I get.
Going back to school with Colorado Christian University has me really excited. I’m a leader in my church, this college will help me sharpen my skills. I look forward to being in some good discussions on the bible and meeting people of different kind of beliefs. Overall, going back to school always allow me to strive for great academic achievement. My last college, I graduated Magna Cum Laude. This time around, I have to do the same or better. I plan on exceeding the standards.
