I decided to go back to school and change my life because I want to get a degree in human resource management, help to keep the economy growing, and to get a job working for Homeland Security.
Change is inevitable, it happens whether we like it or not and we have to adapt to it. There have been changes in our individual lives and in the political, social and economic environment around us. We can control the changes in our lives through the decisions we make and the hard work that we put in when we are following our dreams. It is these decisions and the hard work that shapes the path to our futures.
Going back to school has changed my life because l can now pursue my dream of getting a degree in human resource management. Being an active duty military member, going back to school is the hardest decision I had to make but I know that it will make me a better person in life, not only in the military, but in the outside world as well. Getting a well-paying job nowadays is difficult enough even with a degree, so you can imagine how hard it would be without one. This degree would help me in improving my chances of employment.
Economic issues are tearing our country apart and l have taken it upon myself to go back to school and study enough to change people’s views on business and to try to be a part of the process of lifting the country’s economy. Small businesses account for 52% of US workers and it is therefore important for the businesses to be supported because without them there would be a huge unemployment rate in the country. People who are interested in business need to be encouraged to start them.
Changing people’s ideas about a certain subject or field requires one to be educated in that specific field otherwise people will not believe you or you might mislead them because of lack of information on the subject. Degrees are a certification of knowledge in a particular field and that is what makes people believe you and change.
Last but not least, I decided to go back to school because I want to work for Homeland Security after l finish serving the military. This is my main reason for going back to school because l feel that l have enough experience to take on the job but l do not have the degree therefore l am not qualified for the job. I have not been to school for seven years and going back was a hard decision to make because I was an active military personnel at the time, but l am motivated to be a better person and this has changed my life because l now have the sufficient resources to make it.
In conclusion, deciding to go back to school was the right decision and it feels like a dream come true. I am gaining knowledge and it is helping me as l change because it is gradually bringing me closer to realizing my dreams for the future. The greatness that l have so constantly had dreams of achieving is finally looking like a reality because of how going back to school has changed my life.
