I choose to go back to school for a couple of reasons. The first is to make my dreams come true I have always wanted to work in a pediatrics office with kids. Next would be that I just sat down one day and took a long look back at my life and let me tell you what I seen. first when I was 18 years old I have my first child and she was my life I have never been so happy but then when I moved out on my own when I was 19 it was hard to work say up all night with a sick kid lived day to day never had money so then I met my first husband and I thought he was the love of my life he worked I stayed home with the baby life was good. Then I went back to work I was pregnant with my second child I knew we could not make it day to day with just him working I work nights he worked day. I came home early one day from work and my 1 year old was in bed I went in to kiss her good night and he had beat her so bad she would not talk cry anything I call 911 she was put in the hospital for a couple week I left him why she was in their he was very mad that I left so he found me beat me and my 2nd child was born she passed away 2 day latter. So from that point I became a State Test nurse aide I loved doing this then I met my 3rd child dad we worked together. My life was so good at the time we got married had my 3rd child she was so awesome. Then he stopped working doing drugs and running around so I left him went on with my life. I met my husband now who I have been with for the past 8 years he is my life. I started one day saying man I wish I had done more with my life and he said why don’t you go back to school I stared to laugh at him and said I am too old for that he made me see you are never to old to have a dream and make it come true. I wanted my kids to be proud of me so I showed them you can always go back to school I was scared it has been to long since I was in school but I over came that and now I love it I have no regrets in my life it has with all its downs turned out very good.

It can be scary to start school again after being away for so long. I originally majored in english literature in college after highschool, but after I graduated with an associates I found that the degree wasn't getting me many jobs. I was stuck working as a mail clerk, a job I could have probably gotten without a college degree. So at 29 years old I have decided to go back to school. Similar to you, I was nervous to start up school again because I was unsure how I would do, but now I am glad I decided to take the chance.
