Is a toddler an extenuating circumstance? How about a husband? By the age of 20 I had both of those! While “my boys” have been the biggest blessings in my life, it happened earlier than was planned. In 2012, I married the love of my life and a few months later, my first “extenuating circumstance” (and my greatest adventure yet) arrived at a whopping 7 lbs. and 6 oz. Our son has been the most wonderful thing that could’ve happened to my husband and me, and he is the main reason that I want to pursue a degree. Although balancing a job, school, child has been no small feat, it is important to me that when he grows up, he can look at my example and see that it is never to late to accomplish your goals. Just a couple of months after my son was
attending classes for a short time to have a baby boy in September 2004, then returned to finish college.
I grew up in an impoverished community with a lack of an educational culture. As I faced academic and financial obstacles, I realized how important education is. I am the first person in my family to pursue a higher education at a four year university. After graduating high school in June of 2016, I aspire to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and specialize in pediatrics.
My decision to go back to school in the fall of 2012 was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I’m a stay at home mom of 4 boys with 2 of them being special needs. My oldest was born with a rare genetic condition called hereditary spastic paraplegia and my youngest son was born with a rare condition called Dravet Syndrome that requires 24/7 care. I was at a point in my life where I had lost my identity of who I was and I wanted to be me again. I made that important decision to go back to school for myself with the fear of how I was going to do it, but I knew that it was right. It took me 3 years to complete my AS but with the support of my husband and kids I was able to receive my degree. I worked hard and was able to juggle being
I found a job that I have been at for twenty years now. Ten years ago I met my current wife; she had put herself through college and was proud of her accomplishment. Throughout our marriage she would encourage me go back to school and complete a degree for myself. I would always tell her there just was not enough time in a day or money in the bank for college; this was my excuse so I wouldn’t fail.
College is hard when some of us have kids, but it wouldn’t stop us from going to school. To get a college degree we must want it more than anything. We must push ourselves to the limit.
I had a baby after shortly after I graduated high school. I attended a university-- before I withdrew to focus
The Court of Last Resort, the phrase in which the Supreme Court is associated in, declaratively has the final say in a judicial decision. This power vested in the court leads to many questions, mainly being should any court be given the final say. As the U.S government has many forms of checks and balances, the U.S Supreme Court is a critical one. The courts judicial review powers vested upon them, allows to review any law or act of congress deemed unconstitutional. This is form of final say has played an instrumental role in repelling laws that infringe upon the constitutional rights of citizens throughout that last few decades. This ability however powerful, is needed to ensure that fair government laws and rights are upheld. So yes, the supreme courts right to have the final say is one that
I chose to enroll in PC to earn my AAS-T in Administrative Office Systems with an emphasis in administrative assistance in 2015. I am currently four classes away from completing my degree and I’m ready to take the next step by working towards a BAS in Applied Management. I feel it will give me a much broader understanding of the theories and practices of business and management and I know it will help me when directing my own family’s home rental business. These, however, are not my only reasons for wanting to continue my education. I am a mother of a 19-month-old son and having him has changed my life in many ways. It’s become of even greater importance for me to achieve a higher education and to set a good example for my son and any future
I contemplated taking a semester off to have my child and reprioritize my life. However, after speaking my faculty mentor, I received the encouragement I needed to pushed forward and complete my degree. Sadly, I made the ultimate decision to postpone my journey to medical school to care for my family. After graduation, I decided to join the workforce to support my family. As a recent college graduate, I experienced difficulties obtaining employment and this was very discouraging, especially since I was caring for two young individuals. Eventually, I obtained a full-time position at a local community college and have been there for about six years educating minds to achieve their educational
Now that I’ve found a reliable sitter for my daughter I am doing a lot better in my PRN class and I’m looking forward to going to clinicals and graduating with my classmates. I’ve come very far with different obstacles that I was faced with but I am determined and motivated to finish Miami-Dade College and become a nurse to give my daughter the future she deserves. I refuse to let anything come in between me reaching my goals and finishing school. I’ve learned now before I withdraw from anything in life to look at other options in order to handle the situation better.
Pioneers faced challenges such as weather, obstacles, and disease. The weather was a hard challenge because anything like lightning killed the pioneers. The weather was very dangerous, next the tornadoes killed the pioneers with absolutely no place to seek protection. The third weather was the blinding heat because the degrees would go over 100 degrees!!!!! Some of them overcome all the challenges such as diseases, obstacles, weather.
If you were somehow involved in the death of another person in Arizona, you could find yourself facing serious criminal charges, which could result in you facing life in prison or the death sentence.

I have nothing right now in my life that is holding me back from receiving my degree. Now I can focus on what need to be. I can get all my assignments in on time, and do all my homework in a timely manner. Also the fact that at CCU it’s different as to where at the last school you had to login three times a week, but now I don’t have to login three times I can just do everything that needs to be done in one day. That really works well with my work and at home schedule. With my new job I know my work schedule three weeks in advance, so I’ll be able to map out the day I can do my work with school, and I’ll be able to manage my work load. I will know what days and times I will set aside to get my school done, and homework, and when to study. By looking back in the past and knowing some of the things that held me back from receiving my degree I know what works for me and what don’t work for me. Now I will be more focus on what I have been trying to do which is my goal and that is to be one of the first one’s in my family to receive a
When a child tells you they have been sexually abuse, believe them until otherwise proven. Children who are not believed generally suffer a hard time Ignoring or avoiding painful feelings. Avoidance may reduce consciousness but will not alleviate the experience. Generally, avoiding or ignoring can lead to engaging in other problems. Something may in fact have happened that will unfold through this process. If you close off their communication, the opportunity to uncover essential events could be lost. Children in these instances lose confidence in trusting others as well as confidence in themselves. Furthermore, future sexual experiences will in some way become a struggle be it physically, mentally or emotionally because their prior experience
“Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose,” Oprah Winfrey. My passion leading me to a degree in healthcare management has been the love I have for my son. Becoming a single mother, shortly before my son turned two-years-old, was life altering. Moving back in with my family, realizing I had no income, and no longer the team effort from his father, was an indescribable sense of failure as a parent.
