I think it’s crucial that I let you know a little bit more about myself before I proceed. I’m not doing this to boast. But I realize I need some credibility before I can expect you to openly welcome my advice on how to remain successful having a job while spending countless hours in your textbooks, which will be the topic that I discuss later this week. I got my associate’s degree back in 2011, and at the time that was good enough for me. My boss had just recently offered me the position of assistant service manager at the restaurant I was bartending at, and it came with adequate pay and great benefits. I took the job and decided that I was done with school. Two years ago I had an epiphany and decided I wanted to go back to school.
I applied for the University of Northern Colorado and was accepted. I brought along my 3.40 GPA from Aims Community College and got started. I mention my GPA because I want you to know that as it stands today, since I started this journey back in 2018, I have been a straight ‘A’ student, I was awarded by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences for Excellence in Communication Studies, I was accepted into Lambda Pi Eta- The National Communication Honor Society, and if all goes well this final semester, I should graduate Summa Cum Laude if I can maintain or raise my current 3.98 GPA. This is all after being out of school for almost eight years! I hope this helps when determining whether or not my posts have some strong footing.
I want to conclude this by letting you know that growing up I was never top of the class academically. I’ve just learned to work hard and apply myself. Anyone is capable of achieving what I’ve accomplished if they too, work hard and apply themselves.
