Engineering Degree Online | 3 diploma success stories

Posted by bposton on November 13th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

Remember the other day how I told you about Liberty High School, and how they offer high school diploma’s through online clasees?

Well, here is a story about 3 women who got their diploma that way and what it has meant for them.

They’re all from New York City - Lillian Betancourt, 37, Latoya Abrams, 21, and Shereen France, 41.

And they all had dropped out of high school. And whenever they tried to learn a trade or get a certificate to enter a profession with decent pay, they find out a harsh truth - all professional or post-secondary schools require a high school diploma.

So after years of trying to pay bills on time and just getting by, these women decided to turn their lives around and get high school diplomas.

They found out about Liberty High School from Careertel, which represents the Liberty High School Diploma Program, which allowed them to earn their high school diplomas while they continue to work.

Now, with their high school diplomas in hand, the future looks bright for all three women.

In fact, they are all now seeking higher education. Betancourt is studying criminal law in New York, Abrams will attend Georgia College & State University, and France will be attending nursing school in New York.

I think it’s a great story - You Go Girls!!  :-)

engineering degree online : self-motivation is a pre-requisite

Posted by bposton on October 25th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

I found a note on my online dorm room door that asked this question:

“How do I know if I’m right for an online program?”

Good question!

I have found that there is a subtle yet important difference between people I know who are
taking colleges classes in a traditional classroom, and those taking them in an online program.

That differnce is called “self-motiviation”.

Yeah, I know it takes motivation of one-self to get out of bed in the morning and get thyself to class by 8am.

But in my opinion, taking online courses does require a different type of motivation. The type that comes from
an inner drive and dedication.

And I think there are some students who need that “in-your-face” type of motivation that you can only
get from a classroom instructor or even a fellow dorm-mate who’s telling you “do your homework’ or “don’t forget about
that paper due next week…”

Those types of students won’t do as well with an online class.

But if you’re someone who can stick to a self-imposed disiplince and schedule; if you’re someone who can
do your work independently, then online programs are just right for you.
