First Blog Post

Welcome to my first blog post on my new blog site. My name is Stuart Wortman and I am currently a senior at Indiana University-South Bend. My first post is for my readers to be able to learn about me and how I came to where I am today.

My major is Informatics with a cognate in Business. I am currently a stay at home dad while I finish up my undergraduate degree. I am 30 years old, which I would assume would give me a couple years on most of my peers at school. I chose this topic because I can give some insight and advice for others that are or are thinking of returning to school.

I was working full time while taking classes part time before 2017. In the fall of 2016, the company I worked for decided to sell the medical side of their distribution company that involved me. I decided to take the severance pay due to the fact we were having our first child a month later. It's funny how life works sometimes. It worked out great for me to be able to stay at home with my son while going to school full-time.

Before ending up at Indiana University-South Bend I spent my first few years out of high school at Western Michigan University. From there I went on to work full time for a few years before returning to school at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for a couple of semesters. From there I went to work full time until I restarted my education at Indiana University South-Bend.

I hope you return for my future posts about being a non traditional college student.
