Going back to school is something that has been on my agenda for many years, but the timing is finally right to pursue my bachelor’s degree. Previously, I earned my associate’s degree at a community college in Illinois. After getting married and having children, I spent the last seven years as a stay-at-home mom. With my children growing up and becoming more independent I have time to focus on myself and my goals. There is no specific time frame in which I plan to re-enter the workforce, so the degree is not immediately necessary. However, I have a desire to obtain leadership positions when I return to work, and I know this degree will create opportunities for me to meet that goal in ways my associate’s degree does not.
