Over Four Years of Turmoil is Soon Ending

Started by Shey · 10 months ago

It’s hard to believe but this journey, this tumultuous journey, is almost over. I started my part-time undergraduate program in IT Management at Ryerson in January 2004. Part-time because I had a plan for the next 5 years; a plan I knew would either elevate me or crush me.

    Shey, that was such an uplifting and encouraging story. I've been down the same road to an extent as my masters is in a field completely unrelated to anything i do now.

    Best wishes to you and your gorgeous wife.

    Hi there Shey!
    Rick from Twitter (http://twitter.com/rickmahn) here. Congrats on finishing up school - something I wish I had done, but didn't have the presence of mind to do at the time. Having goals and keeping them in the plan is always a challenge and I'm glad it's working for you. I've always had trouble sticking to the "plan", but have enjoyed the ride so far.

    On a side note, I really like your blog layout, and your writing style. I'm thinking of coming up with a new design for my blog and may want to get a quote and/or design concept from you when the time comes in a few months.

    Regards,
    Rick Mahn

    This was a great post Shey. Thank you for sharing your story. I think it's always good to read about another person's experience on any blog -- as I'm sure it relates to many people, myself included. I for example, started off in Bio-medical sciences and kept changing career paths!

    Despite the fact that I think during my four years of university, I felt like I was going insane. Over the 4 years after I graduated I still regard my years in university quite fondly when I really changed and grew as a person and essentially -- had the opportunity move forward and define myself and my role -- whatever it is or will be in this world. I think you'll definitely look back fondly on this period of time because of all the changes in your life -- and all of your perseverance or persistence to push forward those changes.

    Best of luck on your final! You'll be stepping into the next stage in life :) For most people, I usually just refer to it as paying off debts.

    @Beth I know you'll be looking forward to finishing it — that's quite an accomplishment! Thanks!

    @Rick Thanks for the compliments! Yes, it's very hard to stay on track with "the plan". But I try to remind myself of the rewards of getting to those goals and that usually helps. Anytime you need something, just let me know :)

    @Ehren You're right I think I will enjoy the memories. Now when I receive a challenge, I'm sure I can use the same drive to overcome it and anything else that comes my way.

    Thank you all for your well wishes!
