June is the start of the school season. And for me, after almost 6 years, I’ve decided to finally go back to school and pursue further studies. It’s an impeccable decision!
Education is the best gift you can reward yourself that will last a lifetime like love and family. No one can take it away from you. Because what you have is beyond words to explain. It is instill in your minds and will help you mold your profession and personal growth as an individual striving to live in this cruel and competitive world.
To each its own. But on a personal standpoint, I have a high value and appreciation for education. I may not be the brightest one in the class, may not be the successful one after graduation, may not be the crème of the crop, but I will be the best in my own self. The education that I have and will have will be the key to making me fulfilled in my own little world.
Going back to school was a vision for me almost 2 years ago, I have always wanted to pursue further studies but season didn’t permit me to do so. Until recently, some changes happened that made me realized how I really want to go back to school not for any other reason.
Graduate school isn’t my scapegoat. It’s not for the reason of landing a teaching job, becoming a university faculty or dean, applying for a managerial hospital post or whatever. But it is for the mere fact that I’m doing this for myself and not for anything or anyone else.
I wanna regain my self-esteem. I’m giving myself the biggest favor of going back to school to reclaim my “old glory”. A new start; renew myself --- my confidence, my drive and passion for this profession. It’s one of the roads I’m willing to take in order for me to rediscover what I really wanna do with my career life. It’s a very personal thing that others may found odd and weird.
With the ongoing career dilemma that I have, this decison made me step back and see a clear picture, taking away all the worries and stress, and it felt brand new. It’s a breathe of fresh air, indeed!
I know its gonna be a hard and long road ahead --- reading books, listening to lectures, self-reviews, researches, discussions, presentations, exams, new mentors, new faces, new surrounding, etcetera. But with my hunger and thirst for new knowledge and skills plus my passion to try another road, it’ll be a great challenge that I’m willing to take! So, bring it on! hehehe

I just received my paperwork for going back to school. I am thirty-eight, and my reason, like yours, includes improving the way I look at myself.
I also know I need to do something to make more money. I am going to school to market myself past a simpole existence in service work.
Good luck in your efforts.
