Don't let the naysayers get you down, dear! Let me tell you, twice I was ready to get back into college full-time, and twice I walked away due to circumstances. The first time I was on campus for Anatomy & Physiology and college algebra, and all hell broke loose with my AD who was 15 at the time. I finished that semester, and took a job washing dishes.

The second time I had started with University of Phoenix, and my youngest daughter, then 15, ran away with a 24-year-old predator. Ugh. I could write a book on the ensuing 2 years after that.

This time I made it clear to everyone, including both adult daughters, I was staying out of everyone else's drama, negativity, and general BS. I was going to finish, and by golly I will!

You can do it!

I just realized that you'll have to change your little title under your forum name.

One of the other soon to graduate WOMEN

a mantra I'll share with you -
it really helped me relax about getting my "B"...

"C's earn Degrees"

It's now in a place of honor on my fridge door magnet gallery.
