Returning to school as an adult was a terrifying thought! About a year ago I began thinking about it. How am I going to pay for it? What has changed since the first time I was in college? Can I really be successful in the online environment? Can I balance work, family, and school life?

The idea of getting a degree or certificate in Accounting lead to an online search. In my search, I came across the Micro-credential program on the GCC website. I took the leap of faith and clicked on “request more information” button.  At this point I had nothing to lose. I learned what had changed since the first time around… I had changed. 

I was successful in the online environment, because I wanted to be and was given all the tools. I also learned to balance work, family, and school because this education was important to me. Establishing good use of time was paramount. The Accounting Fundamentals Micro-Credential program provided the path to find the passion for learning that I thought I had lost long ago.
