Being an Online Student
This is my second "year" at Kaplan. Being an online student has been wonderful so far. I was a bit apprehensive of online classes at first, but due to some really great professors, I have really done well for myself. I am a very independent person when it comes to homework and research, so this was right up my alley. I have had a few bumps in the road along the way, but that hasn't stopped my drive to do well in school. So far I've had straight A's and been in the honor's program, but I feel so behind this term because of a mistake my academic advisor made, I don't know if straight A's will be possible. Regardless of the outcome, I will do the best I can. The hardest part thus far has been finding time to do homework and working around my job schedule. Since my hours are never the same, it can be a bit trifling to manage my time. I really like how the students come together and help eachother out. We may not physically get to see eachother but its nice to know that if I have a question or need some help, I can rely on my fellow students for support.

It is great that you sticking in here at Kaplan. Being a online student can be tricky for people who are not organized and can be in self control. It is possible to have straight A's it just takes determination . I am working also and going to Kaplan (I may have to get a second job)and I do understand how hard it can be. Just remember that it is all going to be worth it in the end but spend time for yourself every now and then. I am here for you if you need me.

ReplyDeleteYou know I've always wanted to go back to school since I was 32 year's of age but it was to becoome a social worker. I enjoy going to school online because there's no traffic to deal with I can be at home with my family. I do sometimes wish I had the hands on but this is good for right now.You know your classmates and professor are very good support so don't forget to come to us if you have any problems and Good Luck.
