I believe the long term results and value in completing a degree in higher education is great considering my situation, it’s something that I never thought I would have a chance to accomplish. I value it greatly because it is giving me another chance at being something in life and a positive role model for children and grandchildren to look up to. By completing my degree in Hospitality travel and tourism, it gives me hope that one day I will conquer my dreams of becoming Hospitality. Anyone that earns a degree in higher education has the knowledge to do anything they put their mind to due to the fact that it takes a lot of discipline to get through school. I have great respect for anyone that tries to better their education to make their lives better. My personal plan for my academic future is to finish getting my degree in Hospitality travel and tourism. My first couple of classes has really made me realize that it is not as easy as it looks. Being a single mother of two kids takes a lot out of me, so earning this degree is going to be one of my greatest achievements and accomplishments but also one of the hardest things that I have had to do but I will conquer this.
I will use what I have gained in college to start of my career in Hospitality Travel and Tourism. I always wanted to get into school for Traveling, but I never put forth the effort to do it. Now that I am older and married I have a different outlook on life. As I said before the main Objective is to add more on my resume to get myself in a better position to help my family financially. I think that once this done I will have the leverage in my field of work. I have planned to turn in all of my assignments on time for the remainder of my time in school, I have to resources to get my work done so it should not be an excuses. I know that in order for me to make good grades, have a successful career, and make the money that I want to make then it starts with the work I put in

    Cost of College

    • 424 Words

    I think that it depends on what you would like to do, whether a college degree is really worth it. I know for my future career goal of becoming a nurse, it is definitely necessary. But, if you chose to be a restaurant manager or become a police officer/fire fighter a college degree may not be the most cost effective path to becoming successful. When I went to college, I thought that as long as I graduated and got that piece of paper everything else would be cake, but in truth it wasn’t very easy to find a job immediately after I graduated. So I think it’s important to understand that some fields of study are not very high in demand or have many job openings. I know the ultimate importance is doing something you love regardless of what it is, but also understand that if you get a degree in fashion merchandising or ethics it is going to be increasing more difficult to get a job than if you had a medical degree or business degree. But through it all at least in my case, college has definitely been worth it. Not only because of the material I learned that can be applied to my jobs, but it has opened my eyes to the world around me and has taught me discipline, the ability to multitask, and delay gratification. While at school, I had many life experiences that have no monetary value but are ones that I would never trade for anything, and I feel have contributed to the person I am today. In short, a degree for most people is a “safety net” something that makes you the better option for employers over non degreed applicants and gives you more options in general as to what career you choose. According to an article in the New York Times, “The 2009 unemployment rate of college graduates 25 and older was 4.6 percent, compared with 9.7 percent for high school graduates.” And, “ the pay premium for those with bachelor’s degrees has grown substantially in…

    Yes, last week was really difficult for me! I'm pursuing my degree in nursing through Arizona College and doing my prerequests through Keiser University, so I was able to take advantage of the free tutoring available at Arizona College. I put my kids in daycare for the week and I was at the Arizona College campus from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. studying and being tutored. I feel that I understand the concepts that we are studying each week, however the math portion is what I'm having a hard time with since I havent taken a math class in about ten years. I feel that I'm able to do the problems but they are taking me a long time to complete and since the time frame for the test is fifty minutes I run out of time and I'm left guessing on some of the…

    My former English professor would always say “find a way 101”, whenever a student found themselves struggling in her class. At first I did not understand why she was so rude to her students, this was until after I graduated high school when I realized I was wrong. She was not rude, she was not mean, she was preparing her students for college level English classes. Reflecting on my past encounter with the toughest teacher at my former high school, I can say I feel prepared for a college level class. Although I may have taken the most rigorous class in high school, that does not mean I am expected to pass without falling short. However, I am certain that I am ready for the challenges that my professor will assign me in the fall.…

    My main reason for going back to school is for better career choices and the chance for something better. Which is currently very limited in this area. Mainly some companies that don't pay very much. That's why I hope this degree will open on a new career or something much better. Maybe even one day own my own business or some kind independent business agent. I guess the idea being able work by myself is very desirable. Not having to deal with the daily rat race, doing the same old daily grind and having the ability to achieve something much better for myself…

    This book has easily become one of the top books I have read as a Liberty University student since the principles that it includes are extremely applicable. Immediately after I had read about “The Law of the Learner,” I repented of how I used to think. Because I was lazy, I would put the blame on the student if he or she were failing, rather than striving to work harder and learn different ways I could create learners. However, after reading Wilkinson’s writings and stories, I desired to be a teacher who would not tolerate students who are not paying attention. Namely, I would do whatever it takes to have students learn, rather than blaming them for not learning. In addition, while I read “The Law of Expectations,” I reminisced of a student pastor actively…

    This semester, in the English 100 class that I have taken, I realize I have learned a lot more than I originally thought. In my efforts of writing this paper, flipping through my different notes, I really have learned how to write better papers. I learned how to use a web-log, also referred to as a blog. I had never posted on a blog and I didn’t even know what one was. It is very interesting to me that our English classes were able to read each others postings and writings on the blog we used for our homework and also comment on other peoples work. And, that anybody on the world-wide web can also read and comment on our writings. I have also learned about the difference between “academic” writing and non-academic writing. These are different…
