Only you can control how a person makes you feel..for you are the only one who can control your emotions....

College Again

I will say that almost 7 out of 10 people started college again because of the economy. I will admit if I did not loose my job I would not have gone back to school. But loosing that job was maybe the best thing that ever happened to me. I lost my job on October 23,2008. My fiance and I had just moved in together on October 10, 2008. Talk about a situation that can make or break you. It was not the best time to loose a job. In December I was watching television and a commercial for Kaplan University came on. I thought about it then I laughed at myself for thinking about it. I just paid off student loans from over 7 years prior to that...and I didn't even finish those courses. But, I thought about it and thought about it. If the time were to come again and I lost my job what will I do, what will I have to fall back on. The only choice was to go back to school. I did not want to wish anything bad on myself. But, if presented with this issue again I would like to say that I have a degree that I worked my tail off to get. A lot of people think that online courses are easy. I tell them it's so easy that it is hard. If you think about it, we don't have to get up and go to a classroom. We have to stop what we are doing and log on. A person has to be disciplined to do that in my opinion. Anyway let's just say I made that call and spoke to Anthony and Ihave not looked back yet. I had a few set backs..but I'm still her...Set backs next blog..stay tuned
