Educational Experience

I have been solely an online student during my SCILS program. Even though I started off the program living in New Jersey, I moved halfway through to North Carolina. The only hiccup produced as a result of the move, was the move to out-of-state tuition! I don't feel slighted in the least by the quality of my education because it has been online. For me, the effort I have put in has been very rewarding to me personally and I hope will play out one day for me professionally.

I have loved my educational experience. At this point in my life, raising my young family is the most important thing to me. The part-time online program has allowed me to keep that as my priority while also allowing me an intellectual journey that I have cherished. Of course some times during the semesters have been more stressful than others. But I do feel the negative impact getting this degree has had on my family has been minimal. In fact, I love that my kids have learned to respect me for what I'm doing and also respect my time. I especially love it when I hear them tell others, "My mom wants to be a librarian when she grows up!"
