I am a 35-year-old stay-at-home Mom of 3 children one being a special needs child who still at 7 needs full-time care, he doesn't talk, dress himself or feed himself. Online courses are the only choice I have as I feel it is important to be home with my children especially my son with special needs.
My significant other is in the Army and will be going to Afghanistan and I would like to be able to provide some assistance to the family income. I have chosen Medical billing so that possibly I can work from home. My youngest child is 9 months so won't be in school for a few years so I would be unable to work outside of the home for at least 4 years.
With a Medical Billing certificate I feel I could do everything from home and still be able to provide all of the needs of my family financially, physically, and emotionally. Please consider me as a scholorship recipient it is the only way I would be able to fulfill my dreams of a further education.
Thank-You,
Amanda Shand
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.
