The unfortunate aspect of my journey was when I was diagnosed with arthritis. My managers then decided to ensure that I received a medical attention to the painful joints that I now had. I then managed to see a physician for the firs time.It was during my first appointment that I bumped across a University of Phoenix branch office close to the building that housed the physician's office. I decided to check out the various degree offering a that are offered at university. I then remembered the words of my supervisor that for me to gain any meaningful promotion...

I then managed to enroll and begin a Management degree program in the university three months later.
I must say that I found my very first class to be interesting. This was especially true for me since I had not been inside a classroom for nearly a decade. The fact that I was working full time while taking my classes as well as doing a bi-weekly visit to the physicians somehow exerted some pressure on both my professional ad personal life. Within six months, I was taken through a rigorous arthritis management regime that included both treatments and even surgery aimed at managing the osteoarthritis that had invaded most of my fingers. All these activities allowed me to gain extra abilities such as the ability to work under pressure while effectively balancing my personal ad professional lives. I then noticed soon after, that my abilities could allow me to easily join the ranks of the upper management without much ado. I gained extreme abilities to coordinate my operations and my ability to solve problems also improved. The written as well as oral communication skills were also enhanced. At that time, my goals were to fully embrace my duties at Bank of America. The physical illness that I suffered from (osteoarthritis) however hindered me embrace my duties.

The University of Phoenix offers the online management degree through its Bachelor of Science in Business (BSB) program. This management degree for which I enrolled is build upon the concepts of marketing courses that allows a student to further their study in regards to advertising, consumer behavior, public relations, marketing research as well as international marketing.Each and every course that I have taken at Phoenix University has been unique. This is because each course has had its unique share of the education as well as learning that I acquired in the process. One of the main courses that critically affected approach and view of the world is a philosophy course called PHI/105-Introduction to Philosophy. This course almost made me an atheist as made me question certain fundamental beliefs that entrenched in my Christian teachings. I passed this course as a result of my deep interest on the course. The other courses that I adored due to their impact on my life today were Management 210-Supervision as well as Leadership. This course enabled me learn about the differences between transformational leadership and management. This course engaged me in self-awareness analysis that allowed me to acquire the knowledge necessary for the identification as well as the implementation of leadership strengths. The course also allowed me to acquire skills necessary for overcoming challenges that are part of the top management. I learn the roles of supervisors in a given organization, what effective leadership skills are. I also learnt the concepts of successful communication as well as the methods of enhancing the performance of employees. These two courses have allowed me to achieve a good level of personal and professional standards and satisfaction/fulfillment. The fact that the course if offered online I recommend that student who enroll in this course learn to manage their time effectively by finishing heir assignments in good time. This can be achieved by finishing the assignments a day or two prior to the deadline.
