The pursuit of a higher education has never been high on my priority list. Armed with barely an eighth grade education and tremendous ambition, I was able to achieve professional success in the absence of a college education. My heroes have always been men who have achieved great success with out an education; Henry Ford, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson. With the recent downturn in the economy and I found my self seeking employment I realized that not only was I was missing many opportunities due to my lack of a degree, but if I had a degree it is highly possible that I might have been retained from a previous employer as opposed to being laid off. Obtaining a college degree will allow me to be more competitive in the market place, provide me with a great sense of achievement and personal fulfillment, gain more knowledge, and challenge me intellectually.…

The first day of me attending college was amazing meeting new people and getting to know others such as colleagues.…

I just wanted to take a minute to officially thank everyone who came out to my graduation over the weekend. When I first completed my initial degrees, I made a hard choice to not pursue medicine.

Their positive encouragement allowed me to gain confidence to go back to school for a degree I wanted. Even if some may not have been the happiest at the time, I still received support and love.…

Before entering the hall we were provided student ID cards that showed us the efficiency of their staff. Orientation started on scheduled time. In the beginning we were addressed about academic years and some semester related terms. After that we were explained in detail about the rules and regulations that were to be strictly followed within the premises of the university.
