What's your education goal in 2009? - Professor_Adam - 12-31-2008

I just wanted to share what a year it's been for me -- thanks in no small part to this site and my IC forum friends here.

In the past year I went from having about 56 SH to having a total (non-duplicate) semester hours of about 145. Which is amazing to me. I came a long way. I have my wife to thank for her undying devotion and support and the Army who funded all my CLEPs, ECEs and DSST exams.

I completed my primary goals which were to complete my degree and get promoted. I got promoted in May and I finished my degree req's earlier this month with Excelsior.

In 2009 I look forward to starting a new journey with my master's degree and hopefully getting accepted to Officer Candidate School.

For those here still enrolled and on the journey to your first degree I wish you well. It's completely possible! Hand in there this year! Stay encouraged and stay focused! You can get this done! Thanks everyone for a great year!

My plan was a BSLA from Excelsior with my last test Dec 18th. I had a few wrenches thrown in back in November so now my new plan is to have my last two test completed the first week of Feb. I am taking EC Ethics next week and then retaking EC Social Psych in Feb. after the 60 day wait period. I am 41 so it is 23 years in the making.

My plan is to take & pass 4 more cleps (including World History Yikes!!!). I'm taking 9 B&M hours this spring, and 6 this summer and then I'm done!

I do want to go to grad school, but will be taking some time off in between to get my teacher certification.

Good job Adam!!
First goal- get through my final exam on January 20th!! :eek:
My goals for 2009: complete 8 credits (2 classes) on campus for my first residency requirement (summer session 7 weeks) and then I can officially apply to the ALM degree program.
Assuming I'm accepted, I want to complete an additional 8 credits (2 classes) at a distance for fall semester. That would put me at the 1/2 point for my masters by year's end.
If possible, I'd like to earn all A's in the above classes LOL.
