Personal Narrative - My University Education

My college education When I decided to enter the state university, I described college education as "ivory tower". I thought that I could make myself drown in my research without being affected by my daily life. Boy, I am wrong. I learned that university education was not an ivory tower I imagined in the autumn of college freshman. I work 32 hours a week and work full time so I do not have time to put in what I want to do.

I am the first person to attend college in my family. My mother born in Cuba received 8th grade education - my father graduated from high school. I received a scholarship from Columbia University School of Engineering. My electrical engineering major is three women. After graduation, I got married and started my career in the high-tech industry. I like my job. This is not an easy decision. I have a desire of women's generation at home, these women have no chances. They can not understand how I leave my career and they can not see how I returned later. I also like my job, I earn a lot of money, and I am economically independent. But there is a voice to tell me to raise a child. I told him that I knew to some extent that it was not the end of my career even though I took time from my career to do what I wanted to do.

My family's "business" is education. My parents, my sister, my aunt and my uncle have education and career. My father is a retired political science professor and is the former head of the University of Florida and my mother is the chief librarian of the University of Florida medical department. My sister is a professor of cognitive psychology of UTEP. Education is a ladder of our family from the Great Depression period to today. I like the summer lesson - tennis and the education section of Stanford University CS 106A. In a sense, I am not a teacher like my father, so I am a black sheep in my family. However, the importance of education has never disappeared within me. Since my own children are registered in Magellan, I found a way to restore education as an incentive.
