Oh my gosh, I think that school has had a total impact on my life. Not just because I am here to better my self, but because I am learning who I am, which is something that I have really struggled with in my life. I am only 27, but sometimes I feel like I should already be who I am supposed to be and know who I am. Going to school was something that I started doing because I wanted to make more money and have more job options, and it has become this secret world of discovery for me! It seems that every term, I learn more about what what I want to become, and not just career wise, but deep down in my soul. This term has only been a few weeks, and I have already made some major life changes. Some of the changes are do to research that is school involved, and other changes are because other people like students and my professors have inspired me. This is and has been an amazing ride, and I am glad that I decided to get on the bus.

Elizabeth - This is so exciting! I can't wait to read about more of these changes.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, it's been kind of neat but scary at the same time, right? I'm 39, never have been in college before, never been married, and have never had a child. Well, so far I'm 2 for 3, I've been in school since last July, got engaged on Valentine's Day, and well the child just has to wait a little longer!:-) I also went back to school so I could get a better paying job and to further my career options, but I've come to realize I've learned a lot about myself that I didn't know was really there! I guess doing or going into the unknown will really make a person think about their life and what they want from it. Good luck Elizabeth, you sound like a strong person who knows what you want from life!

Hi Elizabeth, I am 31 years old and I am just learning who I am also. I am superdupersuzi. I don't know how to respond to a comment you posted to me but this is the only way I know of. So, like I said besides being 31 years old I have a ten year old son and life has been hard. I have been through an abusive relationship and always found myself trying to hold on to a job because i had a a bad attitiude because my son's father was always abusding me physically, mentally, sexually, and emotionally. I didn't know what to do with myself but try to keep my head above water. I have always been interested in the nursing field but I didn't know how to start. This big wave needing medical assistants and nurses in the past few years has helped me get where I want to go and I get to make good money doing it. Just thought I would share that with you. I know not everybody has been through what i have been through but after my domestic violence I promised myself that I would talk with other women out there and let them know they are not alone and there is somebody to talk to that has been there before.
