My Educational Trip down The Technology Road

 

^My Educational Trip Down the Technology ^Road

 

Over the years I have went to school; but I didn't like High School, but going to college is different and has been different in many ways. I guess as being an adult we think different when we are kids and teenagers. If you would have told me before 2009 that I would have an associate degree and almost a bachelor's degree I would have called you nuts. I have met many people and teachers who have helped me on the way. As an older adult I take my education very serious and having fun learning at the same time. I would have never thought I would be an "A" student holding a 3.75 GPA but I am. In High School I didn't get many A's, when I first started Kaplan online I was skeptical because I heard online horror stories, but I had to do something, I had no job and cleaned toilets for most my adult life and wanted to better my life and to do that I had to decide on what, and it was pretty easy. I love computers and decided to take my hobby to the next level and I did that and more and have the degree to prove it. Kaplan University wasn't even my first choice. I checked out schools locally and on line than one night I saw a commercial on Kaplan and decided to jot the number down and glad I did and not looked back since. So some three years later getting one degree and almost a second; I have decided I want to continue on with my Master's degree at Kaplan after an extended break. The students I have met, the faculty and professors have been great. I don't think I could ever switch schools the experience all them people bring has been valuable to me and worth more than anything else I have experience. I have gained the knowledge and the experience to learn from all these people. The whole experience to me has made the sacrifice so much worth it. The Information Technology department and the Network Administration program has taught me a lot about the technology world and glad I picked what I did. I know there will be much more learning to be had, but this has been an awesome ride and I know the future will even be more interesting and exciting. I know I don't work right now and hear people say I can't go to school I am too old; it is too hard etc. etc. etc. I say that is just bogus I did it I am 45, and have done it, there have been tough classes, and have passed every one of them with the motivation and hard work coming from a "C" average student in High School, if I can do it any one can. Don't let anything or anyone destroy your dreams and desires.
