凯利·凯悦如何让她的教育有价值

When you think of accounting, do you think of a boring world of crunching numbers? To Herzing graduate 凯利凯悦, it’s so much more. “To me, accounting is a big part of our life,” said Hyatt, a 2021 graduate from Herzing的会计幸运28计划. “Whether we realize it or not, we use accounting every day.” 

When deciding where to earn her degree, Kelly immediately felt connected to Herzing 和 their team. 即使是虚拟学校的体验, feeling at home can be a huge part of a successful educational experience. 这是凯利在这里发现的.

“我立刻觉得自己可以成功. The first person I spoke to not only made me feel comfortable but made me feel supported 和 motivated to finish,凯利说。. “并不是所有地方都有这种情况.”

作为两个孩子的单亲妈妈，灵活性 在线课程 是一个巨大的优势. And Herzing’s strong support system kept her feeling confident in her ability to complete her degree in two years.

“I could complete coursework without missing football games or recitals, 这对我来说很重要吗,凯利说。. “The workload wasn’t easy, but Herzing’s resources 和 support made it manageable.”

再加上繁重的课业, Kelly was navigating through an extremely challenging time in her life. 大流行期间, Kelly 和 her two young children faced homelessness, adding unimaginable stress 和 responsibilities to Kelly’s already busy life. Kelly used the resources offered through Herzing to help her thrive, even when faced with situations that would cause most to stumble or collapse under the strain.

凯利称赞她 职业教练 as a source of motivation 和 inspiration throughout her educational journey 和 beyond. “Even after graduation, my 职业教练 still checks in with me,” Kelly noted. “我在这里不仅仅是一个学生. 每个人都真诚地想帮助你成功.”

It wasn’t just at Herzing that Kelly felt the love 和 support of those that believed in her.

 “When you’re navigating so many ups 和 downs 和 trying to balance everything, having people in your life that believe in you makes all the difference in the world.” Kelly shared, “My boyfriend never let me stop, even on the days when I wanted to. I am so thankful to have someone that would hold my h和 和 push me to keep going, 即使在我最脆弱的时候.”

多亏了她家人的共同支持, 朋友和Herzing的团队, 凯利能够提升她的专业知识, earn valuable accreditations 和 achieve her goal of earning an accounting degree by graduating in December of 2021. 她并没有放慢脚步! Kelly’s passion for learning 和 ambition has ignited a new goal for her to pursue — earning her 工商管理硕士. “My goal is to always be learning 和 growing within this field,” Hyatt said.

Now Kelly has a new home with her two children 和 is already putting her degree to good use as an administrative assistant. Her success is a testament to her drive 和 perseverance that serves as inspiration, 不仅仅是对会计专业的学生, but to any student who shares her ambition to do more than what they once thought possible.

“Take advantage of the support system here at Herzing 和 don’t be afraid to ask questions,凯利建议道. “即使没有面对面的交流, I didn’t hesitate to reach out to my professors 和 counselors. And because of that, my experience was extremely rewarding.”
