After a few weeks, I received a response from UTC stating that I was accepted and could start fall semester. I was so excited about finishing my education. My major was Healthcare Administration. Older women -- those in their mid-20s and older -- returning to college make up better than half of the evening enrollments in area colleges. Nontraditional students are usually in their mid-20s to mid-40s, enrolling part time vs. full time. They generally attend evening classes and have jobs and family obligations to balance with their studies (Richards, 1999).
Start the first year of college as an official sophomore! With dual enrollment offered in high school, this could be a reality. Entering the first year of college as a sophomore is a real for so many high school graduates. Dual enrollment offers the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. This can save time and money as students can finish their college education earlier and therefore reducing tuition expenses.
The college application process is one of the hardest parts of a high school career.
My primary short term goal is to get accepted to a well-respected university. Even though admission decisions are virtually out of my hands, I truly believe that I will utilize the resources to their full potential. Additionally, I plan to finish my high school semesters with all A’s (no “senioritis”) and use it to transition into the college course load.
Whether someone is returning to college or has just completed high school, there are many factors to consider. What is the goal? Is it a vocation or a technology? Perhaps a degree, there is an Associates of Art or an Associates of Science, or a Bachelor’s of Arts or Science. Or even a Doctorate. This is the first question. This is just the beginning. Next, students have to consider is what amount of time they are willing to commit to an education or career goal. An education for a vocation or technology is usually a 12-18 month program. An AA or AS will take approximately two years if one is able to attend full time and a Bachelor’s degree four years . Then there is a Master’s, and some will pursue a Doctorate. They’re looking at an eight to ten year college career. There are many reasons for returning to college as an older adult, everything from their desire to further their education, to achieve a lifelong dream, or perhaps their position has been eliminated do to downsizing, or they feel the need to find a more challenging position. No matter the reason, one thing is certain there are many challenges they will face in pursuing a degree such as time management, finances, transportation, work and school schedules some students have family obligations and children. Some help aging parents the list goes on and on, but two challenges that face older returning students are learning to learn again, and time

I am a senior who wishes to progress with their education. I have a head start in college as I have had access to dual admission in both a technical college and my local college. I wish to continue my education by taking part in my local college South Georgia State College, and continue at Armstrong Atlantic State University. I plan to enter the healthcare field as a nurse, and then consider becoming a physician assistant. I hope to use the knowledge acquired in these fields to help the needy in my country of origin by constructing a local infirmary.

In reviewing the case of New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. it is clear that there are a few major problems that the company is facing. First of all, New Balance falls behind its other major competitors, Nike, Adidas and Reebok, in the area of marketing. Unlike its competitors, New Balance does not undertake celebrity endorsements. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to brand building. This also causes the company to lose out somewhat on gaining awareness on a global scale as it lacks endorsements in major sporting events. Most global brand names generate strong brand recognition through celebrity endorsements in sporting events that would give them the needed momentum to carry their brand name further into the global market.
Throughout my life I have constantly faced challenges and set reasonable goals. Many of the goals I’ve set are short term and require multiple steps to achieve. One of those personal goals is to finish out the senior school year by taking advantage of as many opportunities as possible. As new chances come along throughout the school year, whether they be educational or extracurricular, my ultimate goal is to participate in as many of those activities as I can. My educational short term goal consists of the college process. The plan is to graduate high school with all the required forms and applications needed for college. All of these preparations have been inspired by the hope of a bright future and the idea that college will be much
