On the go...

I graduated with my associates, May 2013. It took me longer to achieve it due to so many hardships, and losses. It was such a huge accomplishment for me, since the prior year I had my daughter and lost her father all in the same year. I wanted to get my BSN (nursing degree), but the flexibility of the program was something I could not work with. I did all the necessary prepping for nursing school, practice test, all required courses, etc. I was so disappointed, but me being a parent comes first, and me working has to be done first. Eventually I found a new love, which is my current job, of advising. I always wanted to be in a field of helping people. I am currently a financial aid advisor, and I love what I do however, I would love to continue to be further in education! Last semester I took on three classes, which has never really been challenging to me, but now I am taking four. If all goes as planned, my estimated graduation date is May 2017, if not I have it set at December 2017, either way it goes I will receive my bachelors in Corporate Communications in 2017! I plan to get my Masters by 2018/2019 in Education and Counseling. I have set long term goals, simply because I know things can happen. Even though both will take one year to finish each, I still like to be realistic! With that being said, I am excited of my journey I have taken, and as long as I am helping better people whether it be sickness (nursing), or life (counseling), I feel accomplished!
