I know it sounds a bit ill advised, but I never had any desire to go to school. I guess I didn’t think that far ahead. I was having so much fun going out and dating that I never made time for getting an education. All of my friends enrolled in programs within a year of graduating high school and now they are all on the verge of graduating. In fact, I met a really nice guy who I became seriously interested in because of my friends associations with the college crowd. It was due to him that I began to re-evaluate my academic experience.
When we first started dating I lied and told him I had an associates degree because I felt like I didn’t measure up to his standards. He immediately assumed that I meant that I had gotten as far as an associates but was working on a ba degree. Upon making that realization I started looking online for a degree program and ended up getting an accredited associates degree in paralegal studies.
The funny thing is that our relationship ended up not lasting beyond the semester, however my degree will last me a lifetime. I may not have gotten started for the right reasons but I ended with the same result.
