Too late?

Hi there overhere! I am actually going to finish my studies because I really love teaching. It just so happen that I will get extra income aside from my own business and I am planning to teach in a public school since we are always short on teachers here in the Philippines and when you teach in public schools, you get extra benefits too. 82? That's so cool. More than enough proof that it's never too late. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Miller! That's really great. Me too, I'm even planning to take Master's and Doctorate afterwards. Well, I have a long way to go. And you're right. Life is an endless learning process and it can never be too late. Thank you very much for your response.

Yea, when you like it, you will always be motivated to do it! Tough girl! With all those roles..LOL, that would be the best diet for me, when I am very busy!LOL!

Yeah, I am actually hoping that it will help me lose weight too.

Hi there Che! Yeah, it will be hard juggling studies and responsibilities as a mom and as a wife and business and now, maybe another part time job too. I hope I can make it. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Robert! Yeah, I am actually worried about remembering things because now I am really forgetful. I am afraid I won't remember details that I have too especially during exams. I might need to take some memory enhancers and try if they will work. I am really excited to go back to school now. I actually dreamt about it last night. I have bad eyes, I don't see clearly unless I am wearing eyeglasses and I dreamt about having problems copying what's written in the blackboard and getting scolded by our professor. It was embarrassing. Good luck with your plans of studying again. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Rhane! Wow! Your cousin and I are almost in the same situation. Only it took her longer to study again. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Fluff n Flowers! Thank you very much. I think you should encourage your mom too. Well, I don't know where you live but here in the Philippines, college students are from 16-20 years old if they didn't stop their studies. But yeah, I guess 25 isn't really far from the normal age of college students so maybe I can still fit in. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there jhartana! Yes, I have enrolled and school will start on June 10. Thank you very much for your response and encouragement.

HI there feralcat! That's really great! Thanks to Mylot, I have been practicing my brains for the years that I have stopped studying. Good luck with your studies too and thank you very much for your response.

Hi there buldwgz! Yeah, mylot helped alot too. And I also haven't stopped reading and all only most of the books I read are fiction. But I have been practicing my mind. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Warm Weather Woman! That's great! so are you still in college right now? That will be really hard but you're right. It will definitely be worth it all in the end. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Nicky! I am not that old and shaky but I do forget things sometimes. But I get what you mean. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Bead Doodler! I always joke about that with my mom and sisters. I have grey hairs and I say I'm planning to dye my hair black before school starts because I don't want my classmates confusing me as the teacher. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Chez! Thank you very much. That's really inspiring. Having a child or children in your case is really bog responsibility that's why I decided to stop studying back then. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there deborah! That's great! Good luck with your studies. We are actually worried about that too but I guess now would be a better time since our son is only in kindergarten. We think that it's better this time instead of me studying when he's in high school or college. Financially, it will be tough but me and my husband are willing to work aside from earning from our business. As of now though, I told my husband to just take care of our business and take care of our son while I'm studying. Well, my mother will be helping too in case that our shop assistant won't be able to report to work and my husband have to man the shop himself. If there will be a need, I might work part time too aside from my part time work as a book keeper in my uncle's beach resort. Good luck to us and thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Tholitz! Yeah, I am kinda expecting that attention both from schoolmates and professors too. That's really great! I hope I can get honors to and pass right away on the licensure exam once I graduated. I will sure work for it. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Jesbellaine! People who sacrifice their own life for his or her family are really admirable. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Phoenix! You're right. So I have noticed that a lot of people here in mylot, usually from other countries are studying online. I don't know how that works, is it hard or is it much easier? Do you get to choose the time for your clesses? Thank you very much for your response.

Oh, I see. So you don't really go to a physical college at all? Everything is done online.

I don't know how other schools do it, so I can only tell you how University of Phoenix does it. For your associate's degree, you take 2 9-week classes at a time. Those classes alternate work weeks and participation weeks. Every other week is a work week in one class and, meanwhile, you have participation weeks on those weeks in the other class. On work weeks, you work on individual assignments, usually papers and powerpoint presentations. On participation weeks, you have to answer discussion questions and participate in discussions with the teacher and other students in your class. If you take math classes, those are a little different. You do have to do "tests", but they are open-book so it's not that difficult. Your assignments are due on certain days and you just do them when you have time and turn them in before the end of the day on the day they are due. With the class discussions, you just post responses to something kind of like a message board whenever you check into class. You don't have a certain time that you have to go in. The associate's program was really not that hard. You do have to know how to write and how to write in APA format, but most of the students I went to school with still didn't know how to do that after we had finished. The bachelor's program is a little different and more challenging. Your classes are 5 weeks long and you only take one class at at time. You have individual assignments due during that time, usually papers and maybe a powerpoint presentation. You also do discussion questions and participation each week. What makes it really challenging is that you get split up into "learning teams" and you have to write papers or put together powerpoint presentations together. This can get really difficult when someone doesn't pull their own weight. I have heard that some businesses were picking UoP business students over Harvard business school graduates because of the learning team environment for the bachelor's degree program. It teaches you how to work with people and how to get things done when things go wrong - and they will go wrong. Some of the classes are more challenging than others. I had to take a statistics class as part of my bachelor's degree program in psychology and it was HARD. Online learning is a great way to learn if you work or if you have a family...or if you live out in the middle of nowhere AND have a family like me. There's no way I could possibly drive to a physical college campus for school. I hope this helps you out.

Hi there Manager! You're right. My cousin has that plan when we were younger. That he won't stop studying and would just take different courses. He finished three before he stopped and got married. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Friendship! Well, seeing people that old that graduate is really inspiring. I wish I can personally meet one and know more about their experiences while studying. Thank you very much for your response.

Hi there Smiffy! You're right. It's never too late. Thank you very much for your response.
