I'm currently doin online classes at the university of Phoenix. My assignment for the week was to write 175 words talking about the challenges I face with starting college, and how I will over come those challenges. I've already wrote mine but now I need to reply to 2 other students 175 word essay. Here is what one of them said. I haven't been in school for almost 40 years. my goal has always being to go to college but life issues got in the way of me attending school. i love my family and i spent most of my time taking care of family and raising my children and 2 other children and helped my mother with 8 of her grands that was left her. now my life has meaning for me i really enjoy being in school. knowledge is power to me when i first started classes i was so confused as what to do but i just keep pushing myself to learn the program and the system. my self-esteem was low now have a good reason to stay on task with my school. managing my time was the biggest challenge i had to get ahead of assignments so one week in i spent 6 hours moving a head of my assignments and now i have weeks to prepare for the last assignments of the course. taking notes and putting it all together to be prepared for what come next. life-work is a challenge.
