In this paper I will go through where I was when I first started at University of Phoenix (UoP) and where I have gotten to through out my schooling career and where I will be in the next few years. That is my past, present, and future with the UoP, which is something that I can say has deeply changed my life and I believe that it will continue to keep changing it and for the better.

At this point I decided lets try it out, at worst I could just stop, so I tried it and it was convenient. I continued a few class and I decided that I wanted to change my career.

I applied at every place I could that...
