30 Days of Blogging (Day 6)

Write About Your Education Level and Desired Career


Being a young mom, I found high school quite difficult with my kids being so young and not in daycare or school. I gave it a few tries but I never finished high school. Although, I did get my GED (general education diploma) in November 2017. In January 2018 I started taking online business administration courses through my local community college.

I am now preparing to start my fourth semester in January. Also, this past semester I took two additional professional development courses in class at a local private college. As much as I enjoy business, I have been having some second thoughts, which I’m sure is pretty common. I also have an interest in early childhood education and doulaing (if that’s a word), with the idea of not closing any doors for myself I am also pursing those paths along with business administration. Business Admin is my main focus, the other two are just on the side as I have the time.

 By the first on June 2019 I will have finished a full year of my Business administration diploma. Sometimes I feel kind of disappointed that I don’t feel as though my family is proud of where I am at with my education. As a young mother of three, the statistics were and still are against me. When I received my GED, I don’t believe a single person said “congratulations, I’m proud of you”. It makes me sad because I think that if I had of been graduating from high school instead my family would have come to my graduation, had a little party for me, etc. Maybe not though, I’ll never know, I’m still proud of myself.

As for desired career, I can’t exactly say for sure at this time. I am just happy at the moment getting my education, and where I am doing everything I can to keep many options open for myself, I will be able to decide in another year or so. I have found my desired career has altered with each course that I have taken, learning new things and finding new things that I never knew I was interested in/good at.
