it's Official!!!



It's actually quite scary. Not Freddy Kruger scary or anything like that, but going back after soooo long. I'm happy to announce though, with thanks to a fabulously supportive hubby and friends I am going back to school. Yup! i am going back to earn my Associates Degree. Afterwards, I will focus on obtaining my Bachelor's Degree. I've received word that I am being given a Pell Grant and will more than likely start the beginning of next year. I still have to get all of my items in for that semester, but I am grateful right now that everything is falling into place.

So....Yes, changes are a foot, but good changes.

Woot Woo! Here's the secret- students who return to school later in life get a MUCH better education. You're there because you want to be there and have a better idea how the world works and can thus more practically apply the knowledge there to be obtained.

I went the traditional route and graduated at 22. And I shortchanged myself because I still had the 'high school' mentality- thinking I was just there so I could get a job later. If I were to do my same program again, at my age NOW, I'd be twice as educated because *I* would be mature enough to seek it out. Best wishes to you!
