Getting a degree is important to me, because it would open up so many doors for my future. I have dreams that, until now, have not been possible to acheive. A degree would allow me to build a future with a dependable career, so that I, as a mother and wife, can help support my family.

My daughter is one of the most important influences in my life. When I look at her, I want her to be proud of me and all that I have accomplished. I want her to see how I have acheived my dreams, so that she will strive to achieve her own. I want her to look up to me, and see how a degree can benefit someone. I want her to know that a higher education is not just something to consider after high school, but something she should strive for.

With an online education, I can spend more time with my family, while still learning and receiving a decent education. I can learn at my own pace, and avoid the worry of not learning all that I need to within a certain ammount of time.

I have always dreamed of doing more with my life than those around me. I look at them, and see how I want so much more. Most of the people I know settled for less than their dreams, and it only drives me to strive that much harder. I want to know that I did all that I could with my life, and that all of my dreams were reached for. I've always imagined living in a decent home, with a decent job. I've always imagined the pride I would feel knowing that I strived for a degree, and accomplished that goal. It has always been at the top of my list of goals I want to acheive before I die.

I can only hope that my dream of a higher education will come true, and that I can use my degree to benefit myself and those around me. I want to make a difference, and this is the best way to start acheiving that dream and the many others I will have in my life.

About Victoria

Hello. I was born and raised in Indiana, and am the youngest of four children. When I was growing up, I had to help my oldest sister a lot because she is a person with disabilities. We got really close, and she taught me a lot about women's history, and how to take pride in being a strong woman. After high school, I enrolled at Smith, a small liberal arts women's college. At my school, I studied alongside non-traditional students, who taught me things that weren't in our lectures. The non-traditional students were women 25+. They were mothers, wives, divorcees, widows, sisters, aunts, nieces. Our oldest graduate earned her degree at age 83! Today, I am a New Jerseyan working at eLearners.com, helping build a website that is dedicated to non-traditional students enrolling in online degree programs.
