Welcome

Hello Professor, Classmates, Family and Friends!

I recently turned 39 years on March 6, 2011, I have two children, 17 year old daughter and a 12 yr old son. I live in Washington, DC (born in DC and raised with South Carolina roots). You can tell from my age that I started learning a little late but the I have always been told that it is never too late to do what you want. I felt that something was missing and that my life was slowly passing me by. After sitting on the computer for hours and hours for 2 years, staying up late and falling asleep at the computer, I came to the conclusion that I could be learning and getting an education at the same time. So, I set a goal for myself on making sure that I get my Bachelor's degree in Business by the age of 40. At the age of 35 on September 11, 2007, I called Kaplan and enrolled into the Associate's for Business/ Accounting. I received my Associate's in November of 2009 and I am currently two terms away (this one included) from completing my Bachelor's program that is due to end in October 2011. I will be 40 in March 2012 and will have completed my goal with a huge chunk of accomplishment. It is the first thing that I have decided to do for myself instead of continuing to do for others before me and it feels good. The first year my family members were not understandng because they were used to me being at their beck and call and I fought to explain to them that School for me was important and with much strain, they adjusted and survived the last 3 1/2 years. It has been the best decision that I ever made and if I had to do it all over again, I would not change anything! Welcome to my Blog!
