I took a break from school after i got my associates degreee from GRCC; but now i feel i'm ready for more. Recently i applied to GVSU to begin the next wave and recieved my letter of acceptence this week. They sent me a report evaluating my accademic track record to see where i stand. Apparently, to get a degree i will have to choose from one of twenty-threee "themes" to fullfill the liberal arts requirements. Options include "making war and peace," "the human journey," "death and dying" and "the new third world." This maybe a lot more lame than i ever imagined. Is it really worth it?
Posted by Matthew at November 20, 2003 08:31 PMYes it absolutely is worth it. You are an extremely intelligent person who deserves everything life can give him. Think about it. If you stay where you are now,you'll regret it for the rest of you life, knowing that you had a chance at success and passed it up to stay in your comfort zone. Go back to school, deal with the stupid classes and savor every moment you have in the classes you love. Step outside the box. Take the leap. I know you can do it.
