Biology, Chemistry, English and three other University prep courses (of my choice)! I am a mom and working so I will be doing these through the adult education by correspondence (at home, on my time)....man do I have to get my butt in gear!!!!!!! Need some positive thoughts and many pats on the back....this will be a tough 6 months, but I am determined!!! Feels weird working on high school courses again!!
Did I mention I hate pre-requisites!
Thanks for reading my frustrations!

You'd be amazed at how many women are in the same boat or worse. You will definetly need to gear up and prepare for times of frustration but at the end the payoff will the ten fold.
I don't have kids but I do work 2 part-time jobs (40+ hours combined), attend college at night til 10 pm, take care of the house/pets, volunteer in my community and help my husband with his job. I am also in the "sandwich" generation. By this I mean, My husband have agreed to start a family upon my graduation, at the same time I'd be working, caring for little ones, and caring for an sick mother and 2 extremely yound siblings. I can just imagine, but I have faith. I believe in myself and in my potential. I want to accomplish so much before I depart from this world, and most importantly I have God and his strength to get me through anything.
I wish you the best of luck

You can do it, and you WILL DO IT!
