The Right Timing
When I finished high school, going to college was the furthest thing from my mind. At the time, I felt that I had spent enough years in school and I wanted to find a job and make some money. I wanted to experience life and travel to other countries and I knew that this would not be a possibility if I was paying my way through college.
I got a job at a fast food restaurant, traveled in Europe and Australia and lived my life as I had wanted to. I did eventually decide that it was time for me to go back to school, as I knew that I did not want to work at McDonalds for the rest of my life.
I applied to go to the Houston Sanford Brown Institute and get a certificate as a pharmacy technician. Had I gone to college, I would have become a pharmacist, so I thought that this course would be a great stepping stone for me, if I was ever to decide to go through with the college courses.
I finished at Sanford Brown and got a really good job. I am in the midst of planning a second trip to Europe and then I just might go back to school and get my degree.
