I am a 48 year old man with a wife and three sons. Already a retired accountant, I still fell that I have not achieved all that I dreamt of. I feel motivated that I can still pursue another profession since am still energetic and have all support from my wonderful and caring family. I was working as an accountant before I retired. Currently I am at home with my wife and children though I have a feeling that I have a lot to do for the world even at my age.

Apart from work I also like sports and specifically soccer. I not only watch but also play in local clubs. The game makes me keep fit and also relax from many hustles of life. I now wish to become a nurse as I believe that I have all it takes to achieve that dream. I have always wanted to become one and I believe that this is the right time. I also received little income which did not correlate with the services that I gave to the institution I was working for. Having three sons to take care of, I feel that I need better and satisfying remunerations in order to meet all the expenses.

I have always wanted to get involved in a profession where I get to pass my services direct to the clients and assisting the community to live healthily. That is that reason I decided to retire as an accountant since I did not get the satisfaction I longed for as far as giving back to the community is concerned. Pursuing nursing and later on taking a degree will be my dream come true.

The fact that my family is in support of the decision I have already made makes me confident that I can achieve this dream. My wife has agreed to support my course through taking care of the young sons while am doing my studies. The other factor is that this is an informed personal decision I am making after thinking over for sometime. Therefore I understand all the repercussions of making such a decision.

The only fear I have is that getting a job by the time I graduate could be a problem. This is bearing in mind that the market is flooded with young, energetic and qualified personnel whom I will be competing with. The other factor is the notions that people have on the older generation, that executing services would become troublesome. There are many responsibilities that the older people have including the family issues. Most people have the misconception that due to such responsibilities, those affected like me can not work properly as they carry with them the domestic issues to the working environment. The other factor I fear is related to the policies that several colleges have concerning the age limit students should have when pursuing certain professions. However, I am confident that I will be received well and offered the necessary support so as to achieve my goal.

After graduating as a nurse I would like to pursue Bachelor of Science degree. This is owing to the competitive environment out there. I know that unless I take such an action I might be rendered irrelevant in the job market or end up landing into unsatisfying related activities.
