Right now we are barely surviving on his pay alone. I am seeking an online degree from CTU, because I am so tired of the endless dead-end jobs that take me nowhere. I know with my degree I can get a decent paying job so I can better support my family. I want to be someone that is proud of their job. I want my son and my husband to be proud of me for bettering myself. . I also want to take some of the stress of my husband who has been supporting me for the last two years.
    Possible revision is below...

    Suggestion: I would suggest titleling it like this, My Need and Desire to Change. You will appear more organized that way.

    I am working on a revision of your paragraph.
    Sticking my nose in where it may not belong... I got confused reading her essay, not being sure of the order of events. Maybe adding headings will unconfuse me.

    Your corrections in grammar would certainly be welcome! After all, you are the professional writer! I've just been a teacher of a fine arts and cultural things for many years.

    Thanks!

    Here are my corrections to Clough's edit (did I change it too much?):

    I want and need to change my life to better me and my family. I am out of work and working to educate myself. In this day and time, both individuals in a relationship must work at paying jobs in order to make ends meet. Right now, we are barely surviving on my husband's pay alone.

    I am seeking an online degree from CTU, because I'm so tired of the endless dead-end jobs that lead me nowhere. With this degree, I will be able to get a decent-paying job that will enable me to do my part in support of my family.

    I want to be someone who is proud of her job and realizes her own worth as a person. I also want my husband to be proud of me for my attempts at bettering myself and want to take some of the stress off him for being our family anchor during the past two years.

    I changed some phrases to simplify them and make the wording cleaner and clearer. I do want it to sound like you and not me, though. Hmmmm.

    Now, does what has been written address sufficiently what needed to be addressed in the first task?

    This paragraoph does not seem to belong, especially not where you put it:

    I used the internet to look up every possible choice. I found that CTU was the best choice for me. It is highly accredited and the admissions advisors are very helpful. I can look after my son and get a great education with CTU. It has been five years since finishing my online degree. My life has been wonderful and extremely fulfilling. I have rewarding job at a local doctor’s office. I am working on getting my Bachelor’s in Health Care Management and getting great grades. My husband and I own our own home now. We are so happy to have financial freedom and our privacy back.
