My next midterm exam is looming ahead of me. For those of you who don't know me, I am in school working on completing my bachelors in business. The course work is done online through Thomas Edison State College, located in the NJ State Capital, Trenton.
I should give thanks to my employer, Johnson & Johnson as they are reimbursing me for the classes I pass. I'm so nervous about having to shell out the bucks for the class, that me not passing has yet to be an issue.
The midterm is this Saturday, 8:30 in the morning in Trenton. The exam has to be proctored to guarantee we don't cheat. Makes perfect sense to me. But I have to get up at 6 on a Saturday morning. SIX! The only good thing about this is there's no traffic!
Some people who know me don't have to ask. But why am I doing this? Because I've always wanted a college education. I'll be one of the few women in my family to have a 4 year degree. That's really important. I also want to teach my kids the value of an education and that sometimes sacrifices need to be made for a better future.
I know I won't be a captain of industrty. I won't be the next Chairperson of the board. But I'll have something that I worked for and I earned through my hard work and effort. A price could never be put on that.
