In the last two years of high school, I attended Cuyahoga Community College Western Campus and earned my Associate of Science degree. Other than the degree, I got a lot out of my time at Tri-C. First of all, my time at Tri-C taught me a few things about the college experience. I learned how to manage my time better to ensure that I had enough time to study for tests and complete assignments. I also learned about scheduling classes and college life in general. I did not attend any high school courses in the final two years of my time at Tri-C.

I got to work towards my Bachelor's in Microbiology and Medical School.

I have recently graduated with a certificate in Legal Assisting and I'm attempting to go to an online college to obtain an Associates or Bachlor degree in the same field. The experience I had from the traditional college was challenging & rewarding. I had the opportunity to meet new friends & social networks that will carry me a lifetime. I hope I will find the same from an online college, but never having attended it is hard for me to say at this time. I have always dreamed of having a degree. Until now, I never thought it was possible. I'm a divorced, disabled mom with 2 of my 4 children still at home. I have overcome many obsticles to get where I am & I would love the opportunity to further my education.

I've learned how to be independent. I live in an apartment off campus, and I've learned to balance school with my personal life and hobbies. I've also learned so many things in my classes that have inspired me to research further on my own. If I hadn't gone to college and taken some of the writing classes I had, I wouldn't have decided that I want to go to grad school and continue my education. I've also met some of the most interesting people I know through college, and I'm sure I'll know my best friends at Georgia Southern for a long time after I graduate. Georgia Southern isn't perfect, but I'm glad for the opportunity to attend college at a reasonable price, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

So far, I have learned that it is okay to playh as long as you can work. I have also learned that it is okay to rely on other people for assistance. I have learned that these next 4 years will be the best of my life.
