  I'm seeking a college education for a number of reasons. nbsp;  First reason is to have better self esteem. nbsp;  Second is to get a degree. nbsp;
 Third is to get a better paying job. nbsp;  I thought it was time for me to go back to school mainly because I'm getting older and I feel insecure about the way I speak. nbsp;  Sometimes in conversations I will wonder if I'm using a certain word correctly. nbsp;
 Or I will wonder if I'm using correct grammer. nbsp;  & nbsp;  I also decided to go back to school because I wanted to get a degree. nbsp;
 I thought obtaining an accociates degree would be the safest way for me to go,  since it would only take me eighteen months to get. nbsp;  I never liked school and would often start taking courses and never finish. nbsp;  I think the difference with now is that I know that If I don't continue my education now that I would continue to procrastinate and just accept entry level jobs.
 & nbsp;  Getting a better paying job is really important to me. nbsp;  I don't think that I should settle for postions that require no skill. nbsp;
 Even though I have pc skills and experience with different positions,  when applying for jobs I'm limited. nbsp;  Most job postings will have certain requirements that I don't have. nbsp;  There's no reason why I should'nt have certain skills.
 & nbsp;  I've set a goal for each semester and hope to follow through. nbsp;  In the past with school I did not set a goal. nbsp;
 I think that was my mistake. nbsp;  I have to want more for myself and work hard to achieve. nbsp;  I'm hoping to stay focused and obtain my degree.
