Five Classes in 5 months
- Posted On: 12/22/2006
It has been 5 months since I returned to school at Western International University and I have completed four courses in that time. The major difficulty has been balancing the responsibilities of a full-time job and family while getting good grades. I have taken MGT340 "Organizational Behavior and Theory", CRT201 "Critical Thinking", ACC301 "Introduction to Accounting", ACC302 "Managerial Accounting", and ETH201 "Cultural Diversity". Read on for a summary...

11:00 PM and still going...

Here I am at 11 PM trying to finish my reading and a case study paper for my 2 classes. Gotta have my paper done by Wednesday and I have to familiarize myself with the Western International University "style guidelines" (a modified APA format). I knew it would be challenging, but didn't expect grueling.

Tomorrow I start Organizational Behavior and Theory and on Thursdays I will be taking Cultural Diversity. I'm excited about the management class and am attempting to keep positive about the cultural class... sounds dry, but that will depend on the instructor and my perspective.

THAT'S RIGHT! School!

For those of you who know me, you may be pleasantly surprised to read that I am re-investing my time and money into a formal education with Western International University. BIG "props" to my wife for backing my decision and a HUGE thank you to my employer Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of Arizona for the partial tuition reimbursement. I will be pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business with a minor in E-Business. My first 2 classes start next week, so I am certain you'll see some moans and groans posts in the coming weeks. ;) In related news, my employer is submitting a budget request for technical training, so I may be taking classes toward a certification in the near future as well. Fun stuff!From WIU's Parent Organization:
"Today, Apollo Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the University of Phoenix (including University of Phoenix Online), the Institute for Professional Development, the College for Financial Planning, and Western International University, has established itself as a leading provider of higher education programs for working adults by focusing on servicing the needs of the working adult."
