Nothing Should Stop you from Chasing your Dream

Navigating college life while fresh out of high school can be a challenge, especially at a large university. When you add the responsibilities of being a parent to that challenge, it is easy to see how some might struggle.  Nursing student Krystal Taylor learned all about that experience when she first enrolled in college.

“I was one of the few students married with kids,” Taylor says. “I felt kind of alone because there weren’t a lot of students that could relate to my life.”  

Taylor eventually left the larger state school for Rasmussen College, where the flexibility of online classes eased the logistical issues that come with raising a family and attending school.
The staff has also gone above and beyond to provide her with the one-on-one support that was lacking at her previous school—one instructor even provided her with a walk through of a subject late on a Saturday night. Taylor is expected to graduate in 2014, thanks in part to that support. The significance in graduating isn’t just the degree, but the example she has set for her children.

“I want my kids to know the importance of getting an education and chasing their dreams and goals,” Taylor says.
