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.
