So I was planning on putting up my own school someday and I have been told that needed to finish my Bachelors Degree for me to do so. As a homeschooling mom, Entrepreneur and so much load to attend too it's really been too tough for me to manage all these all at the same time. I love learning and even after I got married I still want to learn everything that catches my attention. I want to be a good role model to my children that age should not be a hindrance in achieving once goal in life. I like to teach them that learning never stops. So as I was talking to this acquaintance of mine, He mentioned that it is still possible for me to continue my studies thru Distance Learning.
Distance Learning is a method of education that allows you to earn your college degree from the comfort of your home, part-time, and at your own pace.
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, a student can now receive and submit school work online under the virtual guidance of an instructor. Usually, students are only required to physically go to a facility to take exams in the presence of a proctor.
