What inspired you to pursue an online college education, and how did you get started?
I wanted to be a finisher for something that will forever be mine. I am great mom and wife but I wasn't a great me to myself. So I made the decision to enroll and finish what I had started a long time ago.
What challenges have you faced while pursuing your degree online, and how have you overcome them?
The main challenge I have faced is when life is just happening at a fast pace and I have to keep focus on the deadlines regardless of what's happening in the real world .
How have you balanced your online coursework with other responsibilities, such as work or family?
Yes I found a balance by implementing boundaries with my family, my time is my time .
What have you found to be the benefits of pursuing a college education online, compared to traditional on-campus learning?
My life is different now and the virtual class work for my life. If it wasn't for this option i would never have been able to finish my degree.
How have you stayed motivated and engaged in your online classes, and what strategies have you used to ensure your success?
I have created a vision board with all my classes and pinch them off as I complete them. This gives me visual view of how many classes i have done and what's left. I smile at the progress .
What does it signify to you when organizations like Sigma Chi Psi Sorority and Gamma Sigma Gamma Fraternity attempt to bridge the social gap for students who are pursuing their education online?
This means everything to me , knowing we still have a chance at checking off the boxes of things we want for ourselves. The community of people to support and enjoy many moments with is amazing and hopeful
What significance does socializing, networking, and participating in events focused on networking and community service hold for you?
I enjoy serving and humanitarian work. I am pleased within myself when I can provide service to people in any situation
