I Am Now A College Graduate. Now On to the Next Goal.

  On May 18, 2012 I have finally reached my first goal of graduating the Community College of Rhode Island. I have received my Associates of Arts Degree in General Studies. Now, my second goal should be looking for a job. But unfortunately in this economy that is barely impossible. So I added an "in between" goal, instead. That goal, too achieve my Bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island. I already have been accepted into the Health Studies Degrees Program.  However, due needing time off to recoup I had to withdraw the Fall of 2012 semester. But for me to achieve this goal, I may have to take my Anatomy and Physiology course at my old school, the Community College of Rhode Island. Though I already had taken Anatomy, however, the Health Studies program wants to me to the combination form. But in order to succeed in such a course, the Anatomy/physiology course will be the only course that I will take. You ask, why CCRI when you already got accepted into URI? Well, one I would save a ton of money on both books and educational costs. CCRI it would only cost me only about $700 total (fees, books, tuition), where as URI over $2000 (plus the $300 enrollment fee, paid out-of-pocket). My Timing to start achieving this goal, Spring of 2013. Now that I completed one goal, I am off and ready to complete the next one. Well, after I have a relaxing summer off, of course.
