MY MBA JOURNEY SO FAR (EMBA 28)

Still on my MBA journey. Everyday is like a challenge for me but I must have to confess that it is a whole new experience for me. I left banking about 17 years ago to open my school and ever since then I have done things at my own pace. With this program, doing assignments and having to attend classes despite my busy schedule is a new challenge for me. I am still struggling with data analysis. I had classes with my group members on it and honestly I still can’t find my way around that course. My group members tried to carry me along but because I missed the initial classes, is been difficult for me and a very big challenge for me. I have gotten a textbook on this and hoping that maybe by the time I go through the book, the course will begin to make sense to me. For cooperate accounting, I think I am getting better on this but sometimes when I see a new question, I blank out. I will have to mentally ask myself questions on accounting before I know the next step to do. Honestly sometimes I find this MBA program exciting and sometimes I regret even starting it in the first place. I know having the knowledge of this program will help me but the stress is too much for me. Sometimes I miss assignment deadlines because I struggle with a lot of things at the moment. I manage 2 schools with a total population of about one thousand, seven hundred children with over 400 staff members. I have meetings all day and a lot of planning to do for the progress of the schools. Though is clear to me now that I have to devote weekends for my MBA program because trying to fit everything together during week days is going to be a problem for me. Again I’m trying to delegate some of my responsibilities to the principal for the secondary school and the head teacher for the  primary so I can  at least have an additional day during the week for my MBA program. What keeps me going is looking at the bigger picture that one day is all going to end well and I will be proud of myself. This program has made see what students struggle with. I can now relate to students in my school on that level now. With this program, everyday I look for ways to improve the students in my school who are struggling with some subjects. Honestly I must have to commend LBS for the excellent service they are providing for their students. I have a school and when I see good lesson delivery, I know. The lecturers I have on this program are all excellent, always ready to explain and bring everyone together to ensure good learning takes place. I don’t like failure because I believe in hard work. I’m going to try and improve and put in more hard work so I can reap the full benefits of this program.
