I have mornings, evenings, weekends and an office to complete my studies. My schedule will allow for at least three hours per credit hour I take. Of the many places I have to study, my favorite is the office after hours. I currently spend many hours after hours learning more about my craft. The environment is very important for success and care. Support, for me, is readily available. I work within a team that we can ask for help and that's there. On one particular project we had to analyze and configure hundreds of connections. There was a field technician who had extra time. I asked him for his help and he granted my request. It didn't take me long to train him and finish the project that day. We were able to finish the project early and this allowed me to be successful in more projects. It's time for me to go back to school. I had made mistakes in the past that turned into learning experiences. My life has brought me more challenges to grow. Today I found myself in a great community with amazing support. My personal life is enriched by caring and loving people. My employer is a CSU alumnus and understands the importance of commitment to education. I feel like my journey has given me the unique opportunity to start writing a new book, a second chance. The excitement is enriching my curiosity for what can happen and I look forward to the day when I can be called "a college".
