The De Anza Paralegal Program
As far as this program goes, I’m looking at all my options to get a better paying job and how to get there. I know I have to get into the technical writing program, for example. I also have paralegal studies printed out by now, which I’m looking at because I want to figure out how long it will take me to complete. I need at least 48 units and classes I can transfer to UCLA when the time comes. I’m busy trying to figure out the stuff I need to learn, and I have to enroll in online English 1A and 1B. I have other interests, besides, in the field of student government, drawing, martial arts, speech, and more art classes.

College Is Not for Everyone
Before I talk about why college isn't for everyone, I want to disclaim that I am not telling people to ditch their college dreams and goals. While it isn't for everyone, it is also a great asset for some people. Getting a degree in a field you love, making memories and following your dreams looks differently for every person. This article is merely to point out that you don't have to go to college to become a successful human being. Each person's journey is different, which is what makes us all uniquely special.

7 Reasons to Finish Assignments Early
One of my favorite undergraduate literature professors had a mantra that there were no due dates for papers in his class. You could do them all in the first couple of weeks, you could work on them gradually throughout the semester, or you could do them all at the last minute.

Salvation in School
What education means to me in my mid twenties cannot compare to how I viewed education growing up. I always did okay in school, but I never really thought about it as a key to unlocking my future. My junior year of high school I started experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Grade wise I started to fall out. I was more passionate about my serving job than school. I did go to college my first year out of high school, it being mandatory by my Dad that I enroll. I stayed in school for three years, doing relatively well. These years of my life were about school but I was also still smoking weed, drinking, with no plan about what my years would be like after graduating college.
