EDUCATION
Tips
Continued from Page 41
When challenges arise - as
they inevitably do - remind
yourself and your family that
anything is possible with
sacrifice, hard work, faith
and determination.
Make your family
a priority
Robert Rutledge, an online
student with ASU, earned a
bachelor’s degree in business
with a concentration in global
leadership while juggling a
full-time job and parenthood.
Often, while he worked on
his studies, his two younger
children would come into his
office and ask, “Daddy, are you
done yet?” In these instances,
Rutledge would take time to
explain to his children what
he was doing and why he was
doing it.
His biggest piece of advice?
Make your kids a priority.
“It’s difficult for children
to grasp the importance of
the time you’re spending on
your education instead of
with them - especially with
younger children.”
Rutledge’s expert tip: Use
study breaks as bonding time
with your loved ones. Go for
a walk or play a game with
your children and come back
to your studies refreshed
and ready!
Managing everything can
be overwhelming at times, but
remember: completing your
education can open doors to so
many new possibilities for you
and your family, such as the
opportunity to advance your
career, increase your overall
earning potential and even
pursue a personal passion.
With nearly 4.8 million
parents pursuing degrees,
remember that you’re in good
company and are now armed
with some expert advice on
how to successfully juggle life,
learning and family.
With the right support
and resources, earning your
degree is possible and there
is no better time than now to
get started on pursuing your
educational dreams.
