When I was 19 I dropped out of college to raise my oldest son. I kept saying once he was in school full-time I was going to go back. Then it went to when my daughter started school I was going back. Then onto when my youngest son started school I would go back. This past summer I finally decided enough was enough. I am 30 years old, with 3 children, and no college education. With all the options of online or campus based classes, there really was no need for me to wait until all 3 children were in school full-time. So I started looking into schools I could attend online. I finally decided on Kaplan University. Part of my choice was because it is an actual university, not just a career school. They also have a paralegal program, which is what I wanted to start with. I can start out with my associates, then continue on through the same school if I choose to get higher degrees.
With Kaplan, I am taking 2 courses each term. Each term is 10 weeks long. The first 9 weeks are spent learning the material, with the final being due at the end of week 9. The 10th week is spent reflecting on what we have learned in the course. I am currently at the end of my 2nd term. I have decided to blog about my journey through getting my associates degree, then onto my bachelor’s degree, and who knows after that.
