The Skinny on an Online Associates Degree in Accounting
In today’s technical world, it is easier than ever to attend college and receive an associated degree in accounting. With the advent of the online classroom, college students can stay at home and continue their full time job while earning their degree.
An associates degree earned by enrolling in the accounting program of an accredited university will allow the student to achieve their goals of advancing in the growing field and increased earnings.
The field of accounting has never been stronger. An associates degree in this area will allow the student to have the qualifications to work in many different positions. An associates degree in accounting can be earned in less than two years by enrolling in an online university program.
Online programs are generally done at the student’s own pace and often allow life experience credit. This means that if the student already has some accounting experience, such as work as a bookkeeper, that work may count as credits toward fulfilling the requirements of the program. Another advantage to online programs is that the student can do his work at a time convenient to him. Online programs are not restricted to the time and day format of a land based institution.

Your College Application Essay – Managing the Feedback
Once you’ve completed your college application essay, it’s always a good idea to get feedback from other people. But who those people are, and how you manage their feedback, can often be the difference between a good essay and a great one. Here are six ways to manage that feedback, and use it to your greatest advantage.
1. Be sure you are reasonably happy with the essay before you show it to anyone. This doesn’t mean that you think it’s perfect and won’t be open to making changes. Instead, it assures that you will be able to analyze feedback from a position of strength, not insecurity, thus maximizing its benefits.
2. Be very careful about whose opinions you seek, Many people consider themselves accomplished writers or editors and, although their intentions may be good, they simply aren’t. Even worse, they don’t fully understand what makes a successful college application essay. This won’t stop them from offering an opinion if asked so please, choose wisely. Remember, not all opinions are equal.
If possible, ask for feedback from people familiar with the application process, teachers or tutors, professional writers, college students who are attending good schools, or someone whose perspective you highly respect. These readers will offer more perceptive, valuable, and ultimately more achievable input about your essay.

The 5 Greatest Pros of Homeschooling
This article describes my experience as a homeschooler. Please, don’t jump on me for only only putting the pros in the title of this article and saying nothing about the cons of homeschooling. Each one of the 5 topics I will discuss could either be considered a pro or con depending on how you look at it. Either way I am glad I was homeschooled.
1.Parents
I can’t stress enough how much parents have to do with the process of homeschooling. Parents can either be the greatest con or one of the greatest pros of homeschooling, depending on how much effort they put into there children. If a parent is considering homeschooling then this is the most important consideration. Are they willing to spend the time needed with there children or not? It is without a doubt a full time job.
As a young child I was a fairly slow learner. Reading was the worst. I would get headaches while straining to figure out what word I was staring at. Fortunately, I was blessed to grow up in a home where my parents loved and cared for me. My mom was even able to be a stay at home mom. Despite my complaining, they kept with me. Listen closely, this is one of the greatest pros of homeschooling, they spent tons of quality one-on-one time teaching me how to think logically, how to read and how to write. As they kept with me even reading became easier. Parents get the benefit of being a greater influence in there child’s life. The time spent with my parents is beneficial to this day and as a result I have a better relationship with my parents then I ever would have without the benefit of homeschooling.
Because of the fact that as a child I was a bit slow, I started school a year late. Actually, I went to both pre-school and kindergarten before my parents made the decision to homeschool both me and another sibling. Though, I started school a year late I completed my Associates Science degree the same summer I turned 19. I contribute this success largely to the one-on-one time my parents spent with me. As a result of the hours of one-on-one time spent with my parents I have not only learned to read (without those terrible headaches) but I was even able to receive a full ride scholarship to the University of Toledo for Computer Science and Engineering.
