Reason I returned to school essay

There are many good reasons why I chose to go back to college, despite it took me 12 years after graduating High school to make that choice. For example, my children are the number one reason why I am currently studying to get a nursing degree. Having an education opens many doors for me to succeed, and provide a better life for them. I want to give them the opportunity to farther their education after High School. First, I want them to be proud of me; Second, I want to encourage them to keep studying; And third, make them see that getting an education is the best decision, and they follow my example. I want to secure their future, by having a college found for both of them separately, so they do not have to worry about money for college. Another good reason is, to help lighten the Burden on my husband’s shoulders if work would slow down, or he loses his job. To go to college and get an education makes me the back-up plan to support my family. My husband is the only provider for my children and I, and I plan to change that. Furthermore, I want to make adequate preparations for our retirement plan, so my children do not have to worry about us, when we get old. One last reason is to make myself proud, to achieve a degree on a career I enjoy. Going back to school has been the best choice I made in a very long time, and all my reasons for it, makes it so much worth it.

The reason I returned back to school was for personal and professional reasons, with the intensions of gaining the knowledge and skills to be a successful educator.

I’ve wasted enough time, been at a standstill with my career for a long time, it was time for a major change. I decided to go back to school for not only myself, but my son as well. I got sick of living paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meet. Not being able to provide for my son was very frustrating. He’s at the age now to where I didn’t want him to see his mother struggling. It hurts to tell your child that you can’t get this now or you have to wait till my next pay.

I’m 35 years old with goals that I feel I should have accomplished already, but have not. My family and friends has contributed to me wanting to further my education. I look at them in see great accomplishment and fulfillment in their eye. That’s what I want for myself.

As a parent and educator it’s important that I’m always learning so I can give my son and students the very best of me. In during this they will wreak the rewards and benefits that I didn’t have as a child growing up. We as parents are always telling our children that education is the key to great success in that you can accomplish or conquer the world with hard work and dedication.

Noting having my degree determined how far I would go in my career and determined my pay scale as well. I applied for a position received a letter by mail stating that although you have the experience, we decided to go with someone more qualified. That means someone with a college education and a degree. Receiving this letter was a reality check for me I was so disappointed with myself because this was the perfect job for me. In I let it slip right though my fingers all because I didn’t have that college degree.
