Fall Semester

I had attended Oxnard College in my later teens to my mid twenties, but I ended up taking a break. Unfortunately I never returned, until the fall of 2013. This is my fourth semester here in Oxnard College and I really like the fact that my brain is getting the well deserve dusting it needed. The Challenges that I face now is that I am much older and trying to keep up with my studies and I am finding it to be a lot harder than it use to be. This kind of bugs me because I expected more from myself. One would think the older we get the wiser or more experience we are. Well I have the experience of life and I feel I am wiser, because I know now the importance on completing an education. As I see all the younger generation around me, I feel somewhat intimidated at times. What I do focus on is my studies and my work load is actually not bad, but my brain still has problem grasping all my subjects. I am very close to getting my Associates Degree and all I need is to complete three more subjects after this semester, then I will have my degree. There are times I feel that it is too late for me, but then my husband and children tell me it is never too late to complete my education. I know earning my degree can re-open doors for me to go back to work. Once I receive my degree, I would like to work in a very good company and in better position. I have twenty five more years before I have to retire, so I would like to get started up on some security for my later years. Thinking about how proud my family is of me and knowing that at the end of the tunnel will eventually be a great reward, is what motivates me to keep on going.
