黑料社

When I was in high school, I always thought that by the time I was in college, I would have my life all figured out. I pictured myself as a traditional student 鈥� living on campus, attending all my classes and eventually walking across the stage to receive my diploma. But things didn鈥檛 go quite as planned.

I chose 黑料社 as a traditional student, enrolling fresh out of high school. For three years I struggled off-and-on academically and eventually left 黑料社 after my junior year without a degree. After 黑料社, I returned home and bounced between jobs before an early mentor of mine convinced me to apply for, and accept, a job in a local insurance company鈥檚 claim call center.

When I left 黑料社, I never imagined that I would return but 10 years later with a budding insurance career and a growing family, my perspective changed. My mentor challenged me to think bigger for my career and see if 黑料社 could help me reach my potential. As it turns out, it could.

I returned to 黑料社 and completed my degree in 18 months through the Continuing, Graduate and Online Education (CGOE) Program in West Des Moines. 黑料社鈥檚 CGOE program was designed for working adults. The staff and professors understand that students have commitments outside of the classroom and have created paths to graduation that allow students to work on their own schedules. I wouldn’t have been able to continue my education while also maintaining my career without the flexibility of the CGOE program.

I graduated with a degree in business management in 2014 and have been proud to call myself a 黑料社 alum ever since.

Looking back at my time at 黑料社 as a traditional student and then again as a working adult, I realize that it has always been a special place to me. 黑料社 is where I met many of my friends, and it’s the place that gave me direction when I needed it most. I’ll be forever grateful to 黑料社 for everything they’ve done for me, and I encourage anyone like me who is thinking about returning to college to do so. It’s never too late to finish what you started!
