A few years ago, I decided and didn’t voice it or tell many people, though a few family members and other individuals knew.
I had attended college after HS graduation, but after a year and a half, I ran out of money, and because I enjoyed the job that I had at the time and didn’t feel like getting student loans was something I wanted to do, I quit school.
All these years later, having quit was weighing on me, and I felt it was starting to get in the way of my career and money opportunities.
Though I had solid experience, many of the career opportunities I was considering required a Bachelor’s degree or additional years of experience.
Financially, my family’s priorities and expenses were covered. Therefore, going back to school had not been top of mind until one day. I had had a conversation with my oldest about not giving up on something he was learning, and for some reason, that conversation kept repeating in my mind. I kept remembering that I had quit school.
So how could I tell my kid not to quit when I had.
That didn’t seem right.
So I decided to go back to school.
It was an uphill battle for me.
It had been years since I had been in school, and now with a growing family and a busy life that consisted of a hubby who worked FT, a four-year-old, and a newborn on top of my own FT job, I hesitated but decided to go for it.
My Bachelor’s journey was not the smoothest, but those are stories for another day.
In October 2020, I completed my last assignment and officially graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management. (Back in the day, I thought I would graduate with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, I’ll explain that change later (wink emoji)).
I debated and had considered it for a while, not knowing if it was what I wanted or needed to do, but in the end, I reenrolled in school a few months later and decided to go for a Master’s degree (😱).
This time around, I was prepared for the classes, they were more in line with what I enjoyed and what made sense to me, and I’m proud to say that I obtained a Masters in Management and Leadership in 7 months!
My journey may not have been super quick, but it is my journey, and I am proud of my accomplishments.
