As I said previously, I feel relieved and happy, yet a little sad. I can't believe it's almost over--both in a good and a bad way. However, as I had mentioned in a previous blog entry, I can always come back for my Master's degree. And if I decide to any time in the near future, I know that Berkeley College is the college for me. With all respect for other learning institutions, I have to say that I have never been challenged in a way that benefited me the way that I have at Berkeley College. Also, even though I haven't been able to connect face-to-face with other students, I still feel that I've been able to connect with them via my classes (discussion boards), online clubs, and this blog.
It's amazing that when I first decided to re-enroll in school, I had serious misgivings (I thought I was too old, I wouldn't remember anything, etc.). I prayed, I stuck to my guns, and I changed my "study" habits (barely studying sometimes); and when I saw that I was slipping back into an old, familiar, destructive pattern, I made some adjustments. It was a little hard, particularly since I was doing everything online this time, but I convinced myself that it would be for the best in the long run.
Already, it's paid off in regard to where I work, and I feel that it will continue to open up opportunities for me in the future. Also, I've been invited to be a peer mentor, which makes me feel honored. I've often thought about being a tutor and a peer for some students, but that I was actually invited suggests a lot of confidence in my abilities. No matter what happens in the future, I will not regret the decision I made to re-enroll in school. And I will always hold a place in my heart for Berkeley College as the school that helped me to reach my fullest potential--not just as a student, but as an individual.
