My Ashford University Experience

Vanessa is a 24-year-old stay-at-home mom, wife, military spouse, and veteran. She started her online education while she was still in the Navy. After receiving an honorable discharge, getting married, and having two beautiful girls in two years, she is still going strong with her education at Ashford University. She is currently doubling up on classes with hopes to attend graduation December 2009 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration.

Finals DONE.. Week 1 of new class underway!

YES!!! Week 5 of my classes are finally done as of Monday! I must say that there was so much going on at my house the past few days before those finals that I really put them off till the last minute, which is not like me. For that, I know that I did not do the best that I could have on them because I was feeling rushed, so lets hope that I do get decent grades from those two classes.

So, I have not heard back yet from my Financial Advisor about my situation with doubling up on classes. Even if I would have doubled up on all of my classes till December, I was really pushing it to graduate then. Now that I am starting week 1 of my new class, even if they came back and approved me, I would not be able to make December graduation. For a few days, I was really bummed out about this. Which in turn did not help my motivation for my finals that wre due. I was just not motivated and disappointed, that I even considered taking a break from school, because even after all my hard work, I was not getting what I thought I had wanted.My husband would have suported me, but he knew that I really didn't want to do it.

So, I've decided to just accept it and continue to take one class like what was originally plan, and I will attend May 2010 graduation. I know that the fact of the matter is that I need to continue towards my dream and it doesn't matter when I graduate, as long as I do. Plus, it is a relief taking just one calss again. I was really working hard taking two at a time. So, hopefully, everything happens for a reason!
