A nursing instructor told this to me... 'Never forget to pay yourself once youre done.' And remember that nothing worth having comes easy. Dont give up on yourself because you never know whats going to find you.
If earning your MBA is something you want to do, do it. Put your heart into it, and know that you can achieve it. UL Lafayette will always have a lasting impression on me because of the experience I had.
I didnt feel like I had to give up so much of my life to get my MBA. I could take my time with it. I could take one class every eight weeks and not feel overwhelmed and really be able to soak in all the education and do my homework and really feel like Im learning something.
The program gave me the flexibility to be able to work on the coursework at my own pace, whenever I wanted to. Everything was on my terms, besides the due date.
In criminal justice, theres no such thing as a stupid question. Youll find areas that youre interested in. Pursue those areas, dig deeper, and make it your own.
At the end of the day, I think the best part of being in college is the networking. Everyone comes from different walks of life to attend the University. Make sure that you meet different people across different organizations, and the sky is the limit.
I always tell the kids I coach that its OK if you want to get into the workforce, but you have to get an education. Whether its online, on campus, I dont care. Just get an education.
The classes were very informational. Id be able to pull up what I was doing with our clients at work and understand exactly what we were doing and why were doing it because of the classes I took.
God put it on my heart that it was time to go back. I didnt know where I was going or how I was going to do it, but I knew that I really loved UL Lafayette and that if I can go through all that school and make good grades, I deserve to finish off with something.
It was easy to navigate, and the instructors answered questions promptly. University staff would actually reach out throughout the semesters to see if I had questions and see how I was doing. It was nice to have the constant support.
