Returning to College
2
At the beginning of 2013 I had a discussion with my co worker about returning
back to school, and the I was indecisive on what I wanted to major in. So she suggested
that I do online courses, and major in Organizational Management since I wanted to
become a manager within the company I am currently employed. She referred me to
Ashford University, and I must say that I am very happy that she referred me to this
university because it works perfectly with my work schedule.
In 2002 I was accepted into Lemoyne Owens University back in Memphis,
Tennessee to major in Child Development and Education because I wanted to be a
elementary school teacher. I did not attend the university because the university wanted
my parents to pay more in tuition than what they were offering me in Financial Aid. At
the time student loans was not an option for me for I decided to attend a Junior College
instead. My first year and a half at Laney Junior College I took cosmetology classes
because Laney did not offer Child Development courses and the other junior colleges
classes were full. I graduated with my Associates Degree in Cosmetology in 2004, and
returned to receive my Associates Degree in Business Administration. Although I started
off taking business courses I ended up switching my major to receive my Associates
Degree in Liberal Arts, because it would have taken 3 years to receive my degree in
business admin. Once I graduated in 2006 with my Liberal Arts degree I decided not to go
back to school after that although I wanted to. I decided to put all of my effort into my
3
job, until 7 years down the line one of my co workers who is also a student at Ashford
University convinced me to return to school to get my Bachelor’s Degree. Returning back
to school was frequently on my mind but I did not know how to fit it in with my busy
work schedule, and I felt that my writing skills
