Going to college was put on hold because my first son was born in my senior year. So I became a full-time parent because his mother left him at 2 weeks old and she never returned. So my dreams was put on hold. I had to work to support my son.
I worked doing the day an at night I had to see about my son. I had to bathe, feed, watch, take him to the doctor's visits etc. I became mom and dad all in one. So I think online education will be right for me that will give me time at home with both of my sons. An I won't miss a moment with them. I would also be at home with them and receive an education at the same time. Because right now I can't afford to go to college. And I think the online course will be great. Not only will I get an education but I will also get to spend time with my sons all in one.
I will also obtain a degree so that I'm able to gain employment once I finish my course. I wo'nt my boys to look back when they grow up and start having children and say that my father never gave up on being a full-time father and a full-time student. That you can acheive anything if you put your mind to it.
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.
