Not sure what is harder to do, sit down at this computer and write a paper or sit here at this computer and type a blog. I am not one to put my thoughts on paper or in this case in a blog, but here goes....
I am a returning to college after 22 years of being out of school. My decision to go back to school came from my desire to improve myself.I decided that a High school diploma was not enough and that I wanted more of an education for myself. Don't get me wrong I have a great life. Two beautiful daughters that I adore, a loving husband and a hobby that I look forward to doing as much as I can and a job that I love, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, so to speak and just jump into something different.
I am scared to death.
To say the I am scared is an understatement, The thought that I will fail miserably, is always in the back of my mind. Take a... ok i'll admit to this.. a forty something year old person and drop them into a college course after they have been out of school for the 22 years and who wouldn't be scared.
But I have decided that I will go forth and do the the best that I can and pray that my daughter (who is in this class with me)and instructor will bear with me.
How wonderful for you to be taking the steps needed to follow your dreams and further your education. My mother had a her G.E.D. and worked in a factory until she was 39. She always wanted to be a nurse and decided to "bite the bullet" and graduated when she was 42. That was almost 10 years ago. She is now a nurse at a nursing home in Winona and is so glad she made the decision to return. I bet you will do wonderful. :)
