Interview Questions
Q: When do you find time to study each day?
A: During my lunch hour at work, in the car on the way home and at the kitchen table when my kids are doing their homework. That’s the only way to get it done. When I decided to continue my education, online appeared to be the most logical to accommodate my busy family.
Q: How do you stay organized to keep track of work, school and family obligations?
A: A lot of planning. I have an amazing calendar. We use everybody’s favorite colors, that way there are no discrepancies on who needs to be where by when. My husband is amazing. He’s been the glue that holds it all together and I think that’s how it worked, working full-time and going to school full-time.
Q: What advice would you give to prospective students?
A: Stay focused on your dream plan, keep a detailed schedule of what needs to be read, what’s due and by when. Stick to it. I teach it to my children every day: Don’t ever give up on your dream.
