How to get my associates degree
It made me
weeeeeeeeee
 "took a long time, but well worth the effort"
How I did it: started at the end of 2005, but had to make repeated breaks during a jobless era, a loss of a friend, a pregnancy, and a relocation across country. however, on may 24th, 2009 i was officially a college graduate. Lessons & tips: don't give up. take breaks when you need to and then get back into the game! |

More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
How I did it: I actually started working toward a bachelors after I graduated high school, but after two miserable months at a university I realized it wasn't for me. I went back to the house I grew up in and went to community college for my AA in liberal arts, while working fulltime, which worked out really well for me as I now have an actual savings account, filled with real money with which I intend to make big, important purchases.

It made me
satisfied
How I did it: I was close enough in credits to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I took classes that benefited me in the workplace and worked with a guidance counselor to help me find a degree with classes that I would enjoy. This made it much easier to accomplish. I ended up combining IT and Electronic Imaging for a degree in "Professional Studies". Who cares what it reads, I learned from it and I received a good education. Read how I did it…

Change of plans
2 months ago
My initial plan was to get my one year certificate in practical nursing. I got into the program and everything and I thought it was what I wanted. Classes started up and I found myself bored and apathetic towards the coursework. Many times I felt my heart wasn’t in it. But I tried trucking along anyway. Each nursing student had to pass a math test to stay in the program. I was close, but I did not get the 80. Looking back I have always struggled in math, it takes a lot more effort on my part than say, english and writing, which comes naturally to me. I have decided to get my associate’s degree to transfer over. I’m not sure on a specific major yet, but a part of me feels like it should be english/spanish and education. I have always felt that deep within my heart I want to HELP people, make a difference in their lives, so that is my new plan for now. I know it will take a lot of perseverance but I will get through this.

I graduated High School in 2007 and so far i’ve only taken one semester of college. I’ve lived in several places since High School and met a lot of people, but still i feel as though i don’t have much to show for it because i haven’t completed a degree program yet. Don’t get me wrong, i’m happy with all of the experiences that i’ve had in the meantime, but i still feel a little unaccomplished without that piece of paper. I’m trying to get into school as we speak, but financial aid is holding me up a bit (amongst other things) and it’s a little frustrating.

I’m only a few classes away from obtaining my Associate’s degree. I’ve been putting it off so long, but I’m determined to get these basic courses out of the way so that I can begin pursuing my major and begin taking classes that I want to take.

I have been in the Navy for five years and never took advantage of the free college courses that were available. Now that I am out of the Navy I don’t know where to start or what I want to do. I need some encouragement.

One more year
9 months ago
Thanks to a stupid mistake on my part I get to spend a full EXTRA year at my community college. Apparently, sometime during my first semester, I failed to take a very important prerequisite for my later CCNA classes. This kind of sucks, considering I was totally ignorant to the registration process at this time.
The good news is I will only HAVE to take a couple classes each semester which will leave me with more free time to think, get fit, and maybe take electives. Since I have no choice, I’m going to try my best to enjoy the rest of college.

I went to work straight out of high school, and in September 2008 enrolled for my Associates degree in Liberal Arts. With the heavy course load I am taking now, I should finish by December 2009! I can’t wait to finish it so I can go on with my major in Computer Security.
