To me, being successful means accomplishing your goals and realizing your dreams. For so long I've wanted to be back in school, and I just didn't think it was possible because our family only has one car, and one income and I couldn't get finacial aid. When I was looking at Colleges online and I found Ashworth, I thought it was perfect. It's self paced, so I can study a lot and get through a course fast or I can take a break from my studies if something comes up and not fall behind and the monthly payments are so affordable. I think it takes a great deal of strong will power to earn a degree via distance education. I dropped out of High School and earned my GED so I could raise my son; now I'm earning my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and when I'm done I plan on attending the Graduation Ceremony so my parents, husband and kids can see me walk across the stage.  After I'm finished with my Associates Degree I plan on getting my Bachelors Degree as well. Eventually I'd like to work in Special Education. My children inspire me everyday. Everything I do is for them. I want a degree so I can have a steady job with benefits. I want a degree so when it comes time for my kids to go to College, they will want to because they will have seen how hard work pays off. I think you feel successful when you know you've accomplished something yourself; when you can say, "I did this."

Success means to me is working hard for something we want and accomplish what we are working towards. It's not all about money or fame. Getting my H.S. diploma will be a huge Success for me.

Success for me is to finish my education get to d highest point i can manage, get promotion, own my own house, having my family together and on my side while i accomplish my goals.

I put off going back to school for 14 years, I kept telling myself how impossible it was for me to dedicate time to study for a career or go back to college with the busy life I have. I am 30 years old and enrolled in the Medical Office Assisting program and heading in the direction I didn't think was possible. I am supported by my 5 children, husband and my dear cousin who called me up in December of 2010 and said hey I found this College let's check it out. Success to me is accomplishing goals I set each and every day.

i started here because i didn't want to be "just a waitress" the rest of my life.  not that its a bad job, it's not.  i just want more for myself.  i'm hoping to find a career doing payroll at a payroll company.  most people i hang out with have a bachelor degree plus some.  i also want to know things my husband doesn't.  he's so smart!

Success to me is looking into the mirror and liking the person who looks back.  It is striving for the ability and the knowledge to make a difference in someone's life.  Success is working toward a goal (no matter how small it may seem to someone else) and achieving it. Goals are our own little milestones, and every one reached IS a success. 

Success to me, personally, would be to BE the change I want to see in the world and knowing that I am on that path after all of these years means I have reached one of my goals....a success.   

It means progressing forward in what ever your goal is ~ reach higher than you feel you can and go forward all the way ~ keep positive and you will indeed find and meet success!

To me success is getting where you NEED TO BE in life in order to go where you WANT TO BE.

Hello My name is Rose Lones. I want to be success to learn new skills on the job. I want to learn about Pharmacy to help deaf customers who other not know american sign language thats why. I want to be success in school and improve more skills too.

To me, sucess meaning reach your goals and being the person you want to be.

Like I will be sucessful once I complete highschool and go to college.

Being a successful person can mean alot of different things to alot of different people, but I feel that success is ultimately it is up to each person.  We only get one life  and its really doesn't last that long, so I dont think that people should define themselves according to other peoples standards. At the end of our life we will reflect back onto ourlives and ask ourselves if we lived the kind of life that we are proud of.  I believe that is why we are in school trying to further our careers and better ourselves.  Success isnt just alot of money to me; its also achieving our dreams according to our own standards of success. I can honestly say that I have achieved many of my goals.  Never stop dreaming, and never give up!

Success....what is it to me?

Well lets see to me success is something that means determination, responsability, and dedication. you dont successed if you just sit back and watch the world spin you have to get up on your toes and push yourself places youve never been and do the things you never thought you could do.Me...ive had some success in my life so far but there is so much more I Will successed in, i will successed in the pharmacy field even though i get frustrated and confused at time but that why i have to stay on my toes and get up everyday and study and do my work so i Will have success in my life and future..... Keep up the hard work ppl Success is Around the corner.

What does success mean to you?

I believe that success is being happy with the decisions that you made in your life that got you were you are at the point of your success. Doing what you love and being who you are.

What goals do you hope to achieve here at Ashworth?

I want to earn my High School Diploma. I wasn't able to finish high school and I wouldn't settle for the GED. This will be an accomplishment that I can be proud of on my road to success.

Do you plan on moving up in your current field or are you pursuing your education to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to chart an entirely new career path?

I want to design an MMORPG. I want to study game design and getting my high school diploma is the first step.

How much of your journey here at Ashworth relates to creating a better life for your family?

First,  I survived (not suffered) Shaken Baby Syndrome when I was 16 months old and it left me legally blind. By joining Ashworth, I have taken the first step in my journey that will take me to wonderful places. The survival rate for shaken baby syndrome is low and the fact that I survived and with minimal damage is a miracle. That miracle means that I have something special for me. The road is long and hard but it will end at a pot of gold somewhere over the rainbow..

Who inspires you to challenge yourself and achieve success in life?

Every single baby that didn't survive being shaken. Every single little soldier that is fighting to stay alive or remember how to brush their teeth. I want to be the voice saying that we won't be beaten down.

Leonardo da Vinci. He incorporated whole brain thinking to achieve ultimate intelligence. His creativity and genius are ever inspiring.

God. For giving me a chance at life. I won't let you down.

Sorry it was so long.

Success means to me owning my own bussiness and holding my head up high

Success, to me, is when a person tries their very best at something regardless of the results.

HELLO THIS SHENITA SLAUGHTER SUCESS MEANS TO A LOT TO ME,WHICH MEANS ACHEIVEING YOUR LONGTERM AND SHORTTERM GOALS.STRIVEING FOR THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE.

Success to me means achieving an objective,one that was challanging but got me to the finish line. In addition to having a more positive state of mind and gives encouragement to achieve greater things.

      For me success is the feeling of being proud of myself. Although I have many things I want to succeed in, each one is an accomplishment that gets me closer to my goal.

Success is:

Never being dettered from my ultimate goal.  Being a pessimist is not necessarily a bad thing, but being optimistic will prepare you any tribulations to come.  I am determined to fullfill my aspirations for I have been longing for this oppurtunity for some time.  When I do reach that final stretch and feel the emotional strain I will endure, so that I will relish in the fruits of my labor.

"As the autumn breeze scatters the golden leaves, so falls these trials before me"

RE: What Does Success Mean to ME?

Right now it means I to my first test today and made a 95 on it.  It felt so successful and this is the first good thing to happen since the first of the year.  I didn't eat my black eye peas for the new year.

My mother passed Jan 17th and finally at peace.  My next door neighbor that has held me together for 7 years with all the problems with our son.  I'd walk over to his patio and he would wave me in. I'd tell him I needed my Daddy and he get this grin and say"What has the boy down now?".  He had dealt with trouble kids in trouble for years, so he understood more than my husband.  I lost Bill on March 1st. We lost his wife 1996,  his middle daughter, later summer 2010 to cancer and his son Dec 23rd, 2011.  Bill died of cancer himself.  We lost my husband cousin around March 1 and a good friend Monday to cancer.  So a 95 is the most success I have had in a long time!!!!  YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

success means everything to me,and without it,life sucks

I dream of this everyday.

I wan't my parents to see me accomplish my college degree. Get a better job because of it, love what I do and be a role model to my 5 year old nephew. Grab a better future for my boyfriend and I, and just love what the future will bring. I want to be viewed for working hard and going for my dreams!

                                             RE: What does success mean to you ? 

                    What success means to me is having the ability to accomplish what you want without people standing in your way  and telling you that you will never make it. Success to me also means being proud of what your doing not only for yourself but also for your family.

No one argue that we all need money, but success is not only about having it, I think the most successful people are those who make a living out of something they are passionate about.

For me success is all about self content and accomplishing all the goals that you set out to accomplish. For me personally its starting my own fashion line (Bags and accessories). Becoming a well known fashion designer and launching a successful brand name.

Success is failure turned inside out!  Success for me would mean completing the goals towards the lfe I envision for myself.  It would mean success for my family as well, because they will have a point of reference to what it means to be fulfilling their dreams.
