Last week a very dear friend of mine boarded a plane with her daughter Sarah and together they flew to the East coast. She helped her sweet Sarah get settled into her dorm room and then they attended the freshman orientation for the new school year. Sarah is attending a university in Virginia, complete with old brick buildings, trees that will be turning beautiful shades of orange and red and crisp morning air that she’ll soon be able to see her breath on.
Few people know that that was always a dream of mine…to fly away from the West coast and attend college in the East. It was simply a dream though as I instead chose to get married and raise a family.
Thirty years ago I had to choose. I could have the family I always dreamed of or I could go to college far far away. I couldn’t do both. Times have changed however and now mothers and even a grandmother like me can earn the college degree of their choice in the comfort, security and convenience of their home.
American Public University (APU) offers a diverse and entirely online curriculum of more than 100 degree programs. APU goes one step further by providing classes that start on a monthly rather than semester basis. This offers greater flexibility for mothers who need to schedule their time around their children’s activities. It can’t get any easier. Take a look at the classes available and see if your dreams can come true.
Maybe we’ll “see” each other in American History!
