Hey folks...

Being a student is something that quite a few of us have in common, so there are a few of us that haven't had the pleasure of posting together yet, so I thought we could have little, mini-intro's here. :)

Join in!

Right now I am attending college majoring in computer graphics and 3d animation. So far I am able to create computer generated images in two dimensions as well as three dimensions. I am also an amateur photographer which is great because now I know Photoshop like the back of my hand. It is nice to meet all of you!

Nice for you to join us Dante! :)

Hello!

I have a BA in history with a minor in print journalism. I currently am working on my MA in history, and trying to decide what to do after this... I'm thinking law school, but not sure yet... :D

My name is Vanessa. I am wrapping up my BA in Psychology this Summer and then heading to SDSU for a 1-year Masters multi-cultural counseling program. It will put me in a position to counsel people with various backgrounds, and I am looking forward to being able to use this experience to be able to relate more with women and men who may be going through a similar experience, someday...

Since my release I have been attending a university in california. I will graduate at the end of spring 06 with a BS in Marine Biology. From there I plan on attending graduate school to further my education in shark research.

I'm Angela, I'm a returning Freshman(yuck!! lol) to MWSU, I am majoring in Biology, with a focus in Conservation/Wildlife Management.

I would like to go to school but my job is always interfering with that. So i ended up droping out. My mom is the branch Manger so i just do what she asks and i am still in the same rut. So i was wondering if anyone knew of some classes i could maybe take online cause even when i have to go out of town to work i can travel with a lap top. Something has go to be better than working for a cleaning company fopr the rest of my life i been doing this for 10 years.

Well, unfortunately, reputable schools that offer online degrees can be kinda pricey...

I personally go through Strayer University and I really do like it. It's a bit high, but my financial aid helps TONS!!!

Good luck!
Jenn

IKEsBabyGIrl, Check with your local community college. I know alot do offer some online classes, you could always try and finish as many online classes as you can to complete your general education requirements for a BS or BA degree, and then transfer to a University or a Online University/College. Apply for financial aid and pell grants, I know there can be a bit of paper work involved but it will all be worth it in the end.

Hello. My name is Amber and I'm 22. I'm finally starting college in the summer. I'm going to the community college here in Terre Haute. I'm going into a medical assisting program specializing in therapeutic massage. I'm also debating on taking accounting classes. But haven't really decided as of yet.

Let's hear it for Information Technology!! WooHoo....!!(OK I'm biased...) Welcome everyone!! :)

I will be 32 in a few days :thumbsup: and I am currently in a Master's program for Accounting. I received my Bachelors degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting in December 2005.

I love school. It has been great. It has really kept me busy since my boyfriend has been away.

Hi everyone! Thought I would finally join in! My name is Amber and I'm 22. I'm majoring in Public Administration with a concentration in Corrections/Law Enforcement. My minor is Spanish. I plan on graduating in June of 2007!

Hi everyone! I am 26 and I am returning back to school! Actually today is my first day for Summer I! I am so excited! It has been a really slow process but I'm glad I'm back in because I really need to finish and get my life back!

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd stop in and say hi....My name is Sammi and I'm 26, almost 27. I'm starting back to school on June 26th, only I'm going back to school online. It's new to me, so I'm anxious! I'm going to try to finish up my AA degree in Criminal Justice and then work on my bachelors, maybe in Human Services or something of that nature. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do in life just yet, but I figured I would start with what I am interested in the most and go from there. So anyways, good luck to all of you who are going back to school, or starting school later in life. It's great that people are motivated to better themselves!!!

Hi Everyone,
My name is Peggy (SunnyChick), and I am a career student. I enjoy graduate school, but I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
I completed my Masters in Education this May, and I am now certified to teach special ed (moderate needs) grades K-8, elementary grades 1-6, English grades 7-12, and educational media specialist for all grades. I also have a Masters In Communication and Library Science, a Juris Doctor (J.D.), a Bachelor's degree in English and in secondary education, and an Associates degree in Liberal Arts. I have almost finished my course work for certification as a Reading Specialist, and I am about a third of the way through my Masters of Art in English Literature. I don't know which degree I'll pursue next, but I'm considering a Doctorate in Library Science or in Education, or perhaps another Masters. It depends on where I end up finding employment, and what they'll pay for.
Incidentally, I was a late bloomer who did not do well until I hit my stride toward the end of my bachelor's degree. I returned to college as an older student, after marrying and having my family. I would tell anyone who is thinking of returning to school, don't hesitate. Go for it.

Welcome! Welcome!!

It really is great to see so many of us who are working on getting further education!!

Jenn
