My Brighter Future Essays - DraftAkib Alex, Scout Promise

Education is very important to the human knowledge; it is education and its light and social outcome that provides us with the key to a brighter future. When I decided to go back to college, my main purpose was to set a superior example to my children and to fulfill what I always dreamt about and that is to get a degree. Although, it might get complicated, I knew that benefits would come its way and definitely will crown all the hard work. Knowing the challenges that I am going to face, I was determined, ready, and focused to go for my goal. Like most students I thought it would be a smart decision to go to college and earn a degree. For more than a year of doubting thoughts, if I only would have had enough control to get in touch with my inner strength and to reach the end of my journey. It occurred to me seven months ago when I was helping volunteer in my son?s pre-school class that I wanted to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education. Finally after so much encouragement from my family and especially my husband who has always been my stepping stone, I decided to face my uncertainties and challenge my obstacles to make that one life changing decision which was the enrollment to Ashford University. Knowing that my family always comes first this would be my biggest challenge ever, having four children a husband who is disabled, I am the one person who they always looked for and depend on. At times it gets too overwhelming for me and I break down in tears. At the end of the day, I have to be on my feet not looking back and try to make the best out of this moment in time. Now I accepted the challenge, I am back in school, and my children are happy for me. It hurts me knowing that I have to take some time from them, but I know that in the long run it will be beneficial for them. Before my enrollment at Ashford University I did not have to worry about school work and being so pressed for time, now I have to maintain a time schedule in order to complete all of my school assignments if I want to turn them in on time. I?ve learned how to use my time management skills when it comes to working on my college assignments, also be able to accommodate my family needs, knowing that I can spare enough time to spend with my family and be there for them while taking care of my school work. I knew college will have its struggles along the way but at the end of my path it will have a wonderful outcome. I will have a degree that I worked so hard for to share with my family, which they will be so proud of me for accomplishing my goal. The benefits would come with my helping hand, where I can be one of many to teach children how to take their first steps into a journey of how fun education can be. Knowing that I can make a difference in the children?s lives and look after them, be the one to draw a smile on their faces, will be worth every minute I invested towards my degree. Furthermore, it was not so easy for me to alter and shift my daily routine and by disregarding tough times and challenges that I might encounter while achieving my college dream, I will not give up until knowing that I have reached my final destination to become one of many peers that strive to craft in someone?s life an advanced beginning. We all are motivated to reach higher expectations within ourselves. When setting a goal, consider the immense sense of triumph that is mixed with hard work and dedication that results in superior outcome. Education will be the most valuable accomplishment that anyone can earn in a life time.
