My name is Iris Onvlee and am in First year of doing a Bachelor of Business specialising in Accounting and Information Systems. I live in Gympie and needed a new direction in my career. I was studying to be a teacher but found that my job role in the school relies on me in the behind the scenes running of the school. So taking up Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Information Systems) will give me new skills within the administration area. I'm looking forward to the challenge ahead.
Hmmm as I ponder about my adventure through the years there has been many milestones to get to where I am today? I left school in 1975 as a 15 year old teenager to start my way into my life long adventure. I didn't get the chance to finish year 10 as my parents couldn't afford to keep me at school. My first job awaited me where I worked in the local cafe. Over the next few years I worked in various restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets.
At the young age of 22 I married and by the time I was 26 had two small children. In 1988 I went back to work as a Store manager in a local Big Rooster store after about 4 years I moved to where I live now to take on the role of opening a new store. At this point of time I had tendered my resignation due to family circumstances. A year later in 1994 my youngest child was born.
In 2000 my journey in a new future started. I completed my Certificate IV Teacher Aide and also started with CQU in a WIST Course with a bridging course for university. Over the next few years I gained my skills to start my degree.
In 2008 I then ventured to my first year in a Bachelor Of Learning Design. I completed the Diploma part of that course and changed over in 2013 to a Bachelor of Learning Management. During the year I was sidelined from my work with a foot reconstruction and during the 7 weeks away from my work I came to the conclusion that my passion was not for Teaching. This is where I decided that I was more suited to doing Bachelor of Business.
So as of this year I am now on my adventure to gain my Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Information Systems)I am working full-time and doing my degree via Distance Education Part Time.
I am looking at myself right now wondering how many 52 year olds would be in my boat. I hope to have my degree before my husband retires in 5 years.
