Angela Reed
Hello, my name is Angela Reed and I am a working mom. I have been working since I was 14 years of age so know what working hard is really all about.
I am a mother of four children. It has not always been easy but I have put two of my children through school and I have two more remaining at home their ages are 23, 21, 16 and 11. I am at the point in my life where I am ready to take back control of my life realizing I will always be a mommy but now its my time to continue my education before the grandchildren come.
I have always wanted to test the waters of education to see just how much you really can learn. I have taken some course here and there just to stay abreast of the latest technologies. Some of my courses were medical assistant, nursing assistant, graphic arts, business administration, and psychology. It seems like as soon as I started my classes I have a crisis with my children or just bad timing at that time. Now I am at a place in my life where I am ready to take control of my own destiny. I want to run my own business doing something I like to do not just taking these odd jobs trying to fulfill my time that usually gets me no where. Its time out for just another job I really would like to venture in to a career.
I was always taught that education is the key to your future. How much you know will determine how far you go. Right now I feel like soaring with the eagles. I love learning new things and applying them to my everyday living. Having a career I can set an example for my children that no matter what age you are you can still achieve any goal you set for yourself and my goals in life are unlimited because there is so much to learn everyday. And I enjoy the earning experience.
I have always taught my children don't just settle for being mediocre try to be the best in whatever you do and the best way to do it is with education. What you learn in class you can apply to real life and it will make your life a little better than before.
As I get older I realize life is full of opportunities it is truly up to us to decide if we want to take advantage of them or not. With programs like this allowing me to work and go to school on line is great. I can work during the day and do my studies in the comforts of my own home. No traffic to worry about no driving long distances and the best thing about it is that I can learn right from home with my children. I really would like to be the first in my family to complete college. My family is very supportive and encourages me to do whatever my heart desires. I am a real advocate of education with my children because I feel that education is some can stay with you for a lifetime.
This is a chance of a lifetime and I have all intentions to take full advantage of it. Like I said the key to life is education and I want to acquire as many keys that I can so I can open the doors of opportunity.
Thank you for this opportunity to express myself.
