The Outliers Reflection

I returned back to school in 2005 and did not complete my degree at that time. The irony is the only plan I ever had as a high school student was to initially obtain my baccalaureate degree in nursing and continue my education until I earned my doctorate in nursing.

Due to life circumstances, I decided to pursue this level of education first and continue to my ultimate doctorate degree goal.

But during my sophomore year i saw how my school 's avid class was accepting applications to join the class. I knew avid promoted going to college and guided you into it. So what i suppose in a fit of desperation i applied in the hopes that their was a chance of me going to college.

Because of that I now i 'm applying to different college.

I am the oldest and the second person in my family to attend college. I was raised by my grandmother because my mother had me at 18 years old and was still in high school.

This letter is to address my changing of school within the past few year.

Attending Mount Aloysius College based on an interest in their nursing program, I had decided to leave this institution after not being accepted into the nursing degree. Conemaugh School of Nursing, I voluntarily took leave after my father passing away unexpectedly, leaving business and personal matter that needed my immediate attention. Most recently I had attended Saint Francis University, where I would still be attending today, but I had lost a large scholarship that was

She ended up taking a job at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Maine. She was a registered nurse now and she was working at a hospital, how exciting? After a couple of months working as a nurse, she decided that she may want to further her education. She waited six years before going back to school to become a nurse practitioner. This time, she decided to do online schooling and she worked very hard, staying up late and studying.

Who knew becoming a mother would turn my world a whole 360 degrees around. Before I became a mom, I had set some goals for myself. They were graduating from high school to begging with. Then going to E.C.C College to graduate with my associates degree and become a nurse. After that I suppose start my career and the settle down by buying a house and forming a family.

My educational goal is to pursue my passion of woodworking. From a very young age I dreamt of owning my own business. I 've always dreamt of going to college, and majoring in mathematics and business to be one step closer to my goal. I knew from a very young age that my dreams of going to college would be slim, because my mother, as a single parent worked to keep my brother and I content. It was difficult for her because, she was involved in an accident, that the doctors said she would never walk again.

I used to dream to become a nurse or a doctor to help as many people as I could, but I had to give up my dream when my family fell into financial trouble. Dropping out of college, I struggled with the cruelty of life to make both ends meet. However, when moving to America, I found that I still have chances to pursue my dream when receiving encouragement from my husband. He wants me to go back to school before it is too late. Anyway, it is not easy to return to school after over 10 years.

I ended up having to stay with my mother the whole summer. Getting to know new people, surrounding myself with positive people, even was willing to go to a new school to start a new life, a good like with positive vibes. But in the midst of everything I got scared, scared to start my whole life over. Yes, i was only in tenth grade I had two other years left in high school, did I really want to start over? To answer your question, the answer was no.

However, I learned English quickly and managed to be put in honors classes in a matter of months. Growing up, I did not realize the disadvantages that being an immigrant creates. I entered high school with a dream, to be the first person in my family to attend a university. Because of my legal status, I realized that there are obstacles getting in the way of my college dream; I cannot participate in certain academic programs, nor do I have access to college advising. I am excluded from most scholarships that are offered making paying for college challenging.
