Hello Everyone, My name is Nicole and I am from a small town in Michigan that marks the half way point between Lansing and Flint. This puts me in the Eastern Standard Time zone. I just started my journey towards my Bachelors this past summer semester. I have been out of school for a number of years so this has been a huge adjustment. My goal is to obtain my Bachelors in Accounting. I currently work as the CFO for a non-profit and my goal is CEO, however one requirement is a degree so here I am.

I am a mother of two busy children ages 16 and 7. They both play sports year round and I coach soccer. When we are not on a field somewhere we like to vacation anywhere we can escape to for a few days with no deadlines.

A little fun fact about me is while I am returning to college as an adult, my 16 year old is starting as a dual enrollment in high school. This is his first semester and he is taking this exact same class from Baker. His is in the classroom and over 16 weeks instead of online but it's still kind of crazy we are in the same college class.

I am very nervous to see how I am going to fit two classes into our already hectic schedule as fall is our busiest time of the year but I look forward to working with all of you.

Hello, I’m Alissa and I am from East Lansing, Michigan. I am in the Eastern Standard Timezone. I am working towards my Bachelors in Childhood Education to become an elementary school teacher. I have always loved kids but wasn't 100% sure on what I wanted to go to school for so it is now 6 later and I finally feel ready to try this out! My 3 year wedding anniversary is at the end of September with my high school sweet heart. I have 2 fur children Lexi (1) and Phoenix (2 1/2) that are my world right now. When I’m not working at my current day care I love watching FRIENDS, being outside, and photography. I am really nervous to start this school processes and worried I won’t understand what’s going on but I am ready to give it my all.

Hey Everyone, My name is Laura. I live in Metro Detroit (eastern time zone) I started at baker about 6 years ago trying to accomplishing getting my associated in Business Management, fast forward 3 years life got the best of me and I wasn't getting what I wanted out of school so I took some time off to pursue different career options. I finally landed a job doing accounting for automotive dealerships, that's when I fell in love with accounting. Well then again working beyond full time it was never the right time for me to go back to school. Last month I realized my son was going to be one in no time and I decided it was time to get back into school not only for me but for him. I let my finance in on my plan and he was the one to really push me into it. I currently work 60 hours a week and we have our 1 year old so I am EXTREMELY nervous coming back to school. But I need to finish what I started and when I finally get my diploma I will know I did it to not only improve me but to teach my son its never too late to finish what you started.

My name is Amanda Misenhelder. I am from a very small town in Michigan with a population at about 2,000.  I am majoring in Veterinarian Technology, my goal is to spend my life helping others both animals and people.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with Gastritis which means the lining of my stomach is inflamed. The pain during this experience was terrible I had to stay home for most of fair week, this broke my heart. As fair week was coming to an end I knew that I need to say goodbye to my cow one last time. I called my Boyfriend to come get me and take me to see my cow. On the way to the fair which was about 10 miles away was just a very long ride filled with motion sickness. After we arrived I had to sit down and rest to build up the strength to walk from one barn to another. After about an hour I stood up hunched over from the pain and slowly walked to the other barn. I had to push through the pain to get to my goal. This was the hardest thing I have ever had to face in my 19 years of life. Halfway through I almost gave up but I pushed myself and made it to him. This experience in my life has taught me that if I can make it through that then I can make it through anything I put my mind to.

I love animals so much, after college I plan on buying a large piece of land to build a farm on. Currently I own five cows, twenty-five chickens, four dogs, five rabbits, one fish, and five cats. I currently have a Border Collie named Ace who is my fur child. In the future I want to have at least two Border Collies.

I love to participate in my county 4-H program, raising animals, riding quads, target shooting, reading, trail riding, spending time with my family and friends, listening to music, watching Netflix, and exploring new places and ideas. I cannot wait to meet all of my new class mates!

Hello,
My name is Hannah Eley, but soon will be Hannah Rodriguez because I am changing my last name to have it be the same as my parents last name.
I am from Michigan and I am majoring in Accounting. I am hoping to own my own business one day either during college or after college, more than likely I will start it after college.
I am doing online classes right now because I want to be 2 years seizure free before going to the dorms and I will be 2 years seizure free on April 7th. I played football and got a concussion which caused me to have seizures and fall behind in school, but I worked hard and ended up graduating on time in the class of 2019! I am excited to start my new journey as a college student. I love listening to music and watching Netflix.
