"I race home to do my work," says Carole, a 55-year old e-learner.
The Florida native has always been an enthusiastic student.
She earned an associate's degree in general studies after high school graduation. She wanted to earn her bachelor's degree, but the self-described "renaissance woman", had other interests too. She left university one year shy of completing her bachelor's degree.
After raising two children, in two foreign countries, owning two successful businesses, and building two new careers simultaneously, Carole is finishing what she started thirty-odd years ago. The single mother is on track to receive her bachelor's degree in business from Kaplan University in early 2007.
She has decided that it is time. Her educational odyssey began at the University of Florida. "I really am a gator," she confides.
But in crisscrossing the United States in between international moves she took classes at various institutions. Sometimes she took them without credit.
"I was just playing around," she says of her studies at University of California at Santa Barbara. Sometimes she enrolled in classes for credit. At Florida Southern University, she took business courses. She realized she was closest to completing a degree in that discipline, so she decided to get serious and pursue it.
Her very accomplished daughters, now 26 and 29, are a source of motivation. Her younger daughter, an attorney, went back to school to earn her L.L.M. after receiving her J.D. The elder, a CPA, earned an MBA, and is now pursuing a Ph.D. in business at Temple University.
