As I look back on my education, I realize how much I took for granted. I thought a high school diploma was enough. I realized that my lack of education would not help support my family. I decided to go back to school. I attended a technical college and earned a certificate in computer accounting. This gave me the accounting experience that helped me get my foot in the door. While working in the accounting field, I quickly discovered that I needed a college degree. After much procrastination, I decided it was time to go back to school. After a few accounting courses, I was told I still needed to take general education courses. This meant I had to study English. I was dreading taking English 1101. I knew this course would be more challenging than my accounting courses. English 1101 taught me how to organize my thoughts and compile them to create insightful essays. During the first three weeks of class, I focused on the readings and exercises that were assigned to me. I enjoyed reading The Mercury Reader. The follow up videos were also very helpful...
