Online Education Makes Sense
For so many years I was struggling with trying to not only complete my college degree, but also raising my little boy, working part time, and helping my husband around the house. Planning a schedule where you have to attend class, go to work, and have a child at home is not something that is very easy to do. Trust me. After trying to manage my hectic life like this for a couple of years, one of my dearest friends told me that she was going back to school. I was so curious as to how she planned on doing that when she had more on her plate than I did. She worked full-time, had two little ones, and her husband was off in Iraq at the time serving our country. That’s when I found out about online education or distance education. She was going to be able to keep up with all of her life’s demands and go to school too.
