Day 5 - Education

I would have to day I am thankful for my Education, or the opportunity to go back to school and finish my degree that I never got a chance to get. Education has always been something I have had a love/hate relationship with. I love to learn and learning new things however I am not the fastest learner and it takes me a while to learn things so school has always been hard for me.  People can sit in class, listen to the instructor not take a single notes, not study at all and come in and get awesome grades, other people study a little bit and get great grades as well. That is not me, I take notes all the time, I am up almost all night before I have a test and I am studying and having people quiz me so I can retain the knowledge. I go in and I do okay on the test and as long as I do my best I know that is all I can do, that is why I think part of the reason I did not make it the first time I went to school. I have an amazing family who supports me in everyway they can I have worked full and part time and taken on line classes to finish my degree. Some people might say it is not a big deal because it is just my two-year degree and it is just from DMACC but to me it IS something important, I feel I have worked very hard for it. I didn’t have to go back, I could be that person that could have always checked on job applications “some college” but I want to say YES I DID IT! I can not wait to transfer to Iowa State and finish I know it is not something I will be able to do over night, but I would like to have it done by the time I am 30, It would mean the world to me if I could make my goal, if not its not the end of the world, my family still loves me and I am still going to finish but it is my personal goal and I know in my heart I can do it.
