One Step Closer to Going back to School!

#lemon8contest #asklemon8 #letschat #BackToSchool

So I've decided to go back to school to get my Bachelor's degree and it's been 12 years since the last time I attended school. I am turning 40 in a few months and I am in perimenopause so fog brain is an issue! I am not sure how I will do but that's why I decided to go through WGU the program is geared to holding you accountable and seeing you all the way through until the end. They assign you a mentor, career counselor, and you meet weekly with your instructors. The support system is sure to see me through until the end. If you have thought about going to school you should really look into WGU ! Who thinks they could do it, and who doesn't? If you don't why? If you do why haven't you yet?

Returning to education can be both exciting and daunting, especially after a lengthy break. Many potential students fear the challenges they might encounter after years of being away from academia, such as adapting to new technologies or feeling lost in lecture halls filled with younger students. However, adult learners bring unique perspectives and life experiences that can enhance their educational journey. Western Governors University (WGU) provides flexible online education tailored for busy adults, which could suit those looking to balance work, family, and education. The weekly mentorship meetings and accountability provided by instructors are critical for staying motivated, especially for those entering a demanding field like technology or business. Additionally, it's essential to utilize support systems available through local communities or online forums to share experiences and tips with others in similar situations. This network can offer encouragement and guidance, making the return to school less intimidating. As you consider your options, reflect on your long-term goals—what drives you to pursue further education now? And if you have experienced the balance of returning to school later in life, your insights and challenges can inspire others to take that first step. Let's engage in this discussion about the return to education and navigate it together!
