More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: I picked out my career path when I was 13, and everything has been geared toward getting my degree in Marine Biology since.I took more science classes in Secondary school and studied to get into the science stream. Then I explored my options for pre-university schools and realised that staying in Singapore wouldn't help me achieve my goal, so I looked at overseas programs. Fortunately, I met a friend who was going to do a foundation year … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Carefully with lots of support, like friends and family I graduated from a state school. I wish I had challenged myself more as a person and not just as a student. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I took a college class or two strait out of high school, then got bored and dropped out. Four years later I started again, 3000 miles away at a new school, and completed my Associate's. Then I transferred to a four year institution (University of South Florida, also known as U Stay Forever) and got my Bachelor's. Read how I did it…
How I did it: working my way the entire way and kept at it no matter how bad I felt. I should have just saved all that money and stuck it in a bank account.I just want to save this, so I quit getting errors on this submission. Read how I did it…

of my A.A. degree!
decided to go to law school, so I’ll be replacing one degree with another :)
I’m taking classes at AACC, but I still don’t know what to major in! Sometimes I wonder if I’m wasting my time since I don’t even know what I’m heading towards as a career.
I think I’m going to try the Analyzing Literature CLEP test first. In the practice test I took out of the book, I got nearly 80%, and on the practice test online I got 60%. That kind of stuff is easy for me. Plus, reading poetry all day for my ‘schoolwork’ is like a dream come true.
I know, I know. I’m continually making new plans. But this one is the best yet! I’m going to work really hard and convince myself that I am a serious student. By spending more money. Okay, that’s not the whole of it! I’m going to start by intense studying and memorization skills, and them I’m going to test out of most of my credits. It’s a big goal, I know, but it will make me feel rich, even if I end up broke, which I probably will.
NalziA is tossing around ideas
I was looking at the requirements I still must meet in order to graduate, and calculated that if I take 4 courses each quarter for the next 5 quarters, I can graduate NEXT SUMMER. This is very exciting news for me, because it’ll be the first thing I have completed in my adult life that I can be proud of and actually talk about (as opposed to things I have done that I am proud of, but not everyone would see why…). I am very excited, and I am willing to work very hard and put in many hours in order to complete a B.A. finally. Godspeed to me!
I have to admit: I’m jealous of all my friends who are graduating this year. I’m 22 years old and I’ve hardly made any progress toward my degree. I still don’t even know exactly what I want to do. I’m not going to give up, though. I’m determined to have a bachelor’s degree in my name! :)
I will graduate in June of 2010, I wanted to finish school before I turned 50, but it was not to be. At least I’m going to finish it, and I am determined to do this!
kpacelli can't wait until SUMMER TIME!!!
I want a college degree, I alswasy have I just never did it. I work full time right now and barely have energy to shower at night, so no, I won’t take night classes. I can’t take day classes due to my job. I guess I am going to start doing online courses then…it makes sense, its the easiest way for me to do it I guess. I coudn’t apply for the perfect job for me because I didn’t have a college education…bummer huh?
Many small steps to meet this goal. It feels like a quest: obtaining transcripts and scores, filling out the application, registering for required classes to meet admissions requirements – all before even being accepted! There’s still applying for financial aid and scholarships, moving, and of course, the actual time involved to obtain the actual degree. The longest journey begins with the first step, but how about the safe cozy feeling of having some distance between present location and the beginning? More miles, please!
