What are you waiting for?
Troy University is in our community, and it can help you change your life. I have people tell me they wished they could go to school, and I tell them to apply right now.
Don’t wait for today to go by, because ten years later you might say, “I wished I had enrolled.”
Enroll today. The hardest part is the first step you take to change your life.
As you look back on your life, you will see the missed opportunities that you let pass by because it’s uncomfortable to change. It’s easy to stay in the same old job that you complain about, but what are you going to do to move forward.
I know how hard it is to start a new journey, because I have been a stay-at-home mom. When my children became older, I decided to go back to work.
I found out very quickly that with no recent employment background, it was going to be hard to get a job. Every job that I applied for wanted someone with a degree.
That is when I realized that I could go to school to get a degree in something that I like to do. I won’t lie and say it’s been easy, but it will be worth all of the hard work when I accomplish my dreams.
The fact is that our community has a great asset in Troy University. If you want change, then you can do anything that you want to do. Education can help you achieve your dream job.
It only takes hard work and a little extra effort to become a nurse, accountant, web designer, or computer programmer.
So I ask again, what are you waiting for?
