Many people have considered going back to school to either finish a degree or to make a life altering change. This consideration is becoming more of a reality now that online schools are making it more available for people to go back to college. You may be asking yourself, "What is so special about online schools?" Online schools make the seemingly impossible possible. As a mother of two, I would not be able to be involved in my children's lives and activities if I had to maintain an on campus regime for a degree. I work a public job five days a week. I have a husband, home, church commitments and a family to tend to. My life in pretty complicated enough. If there were no online colleges, then I would have to just be complacent and accept that I have gone as far as I can go with my goals. What a sad thought!
The great thing about online college is that it is manageable with your schedule. I can study or go to class at whatever time is most convenient for me. I am not a real sociable person, in person, but I find it much easier to communicate online. I really like how people are free to be themselves in an online class. Diversity is welcomed! Come as you are! No one is judged by what they look like, what they wear or how savvy or smart they are. Online class puts us all on an equal, professional and educational plane. It is a great feeling to know that you can be yourself and still fit in, while studying to make a difference in your life.
I must say that I have met many wonderfully people while attending Kaplan. People come from all walks of life with busy schedules and many burdens riding on them. I find kindred souls that know how hard things in my life may be from time to time because they have walked in similar shoes. I can relate to many of my classmates when they reveal struggles of making a life changing decision. Yet, we all seem to agree on the fact that going back to college was the best choice we ever made!
Are you attending an online college? If so, what are your comments about the decision you made?
Thank you,
