Being in the casino business for 21 years, I finally decided, that's not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have thought of going back to college for some time now, but never actually took action, something always came up. Then the pandemic happens. Being in quarantine gives me a lot of time to think and I realized I did not like my job, mainly the hours. Then I got called back to work, my staff cut in half, less staff means double the workload, now I really don't want to be here I thought to myself.
I called CSN inquiring about the classes I took in the past, wondering if after seven years my credits were still there, and if I could apply them to a different degree, I was excited to find I could. I started having doubts during the enrollment process, especially when I noticed most of the classes were online or hybrid. I got very excited, anxious, and confused all at the same time, not sure what to expect. I got a welcome back email from CSN that put a smile on my face. I didn't check my student email after that not on purpose just not use to it. Then I got a text from Professor Wu about a WebEx meeting. After talking to Professor Wu I was convinced I could do this, I felt better about coming back.
I am very excited to continue down this path to a brighter future. This time I intend to see it through to the end.
