I have always wanted to go to college, but got of track at an early age. By the time I wanted to come back to it, I never had the money to do so.

I just recently got married and had a baby girl on Jan. 30, 2009. My husband is deployed to Irag and I am a stay-at-home mother. I have worked all my life though and feel that I should be able to contribute income into the household. I want be able to do schooling online and still be able to raise my daughter at home for the first year of her life. My husband wants me to have more of an education because he sees my potential and knows that I can do whatever I set my mind to!!

I would love the opportunity to show myself and others that I can do this!!

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.
