Over thirtysomething gang

[RNIAM]

Man in short order I'll be in the forty something gang. I am wondering at what age you will be finished your schooloing and do you feel that your age may hinder or help you in any way? I feel lucky to be at the age I am now. The main reason is I simply wasn't a good student as a young person. I new it all of course, so who needed school? Well I did but it took me a few years to figure that out. I was always afraid of failing as well. Not that I ever did. When i applied myself I was an A student. Now I am confortable with an A,B or even a C athough when i get a C I know I can do better. I feel i am more grounded and ready for the program. Hard work doesn't scare me and studying is part of my life when i am in school. I think my age may hinder when i am job searching later on. So what's your take?

33 Years old here, I will be 34 when I grad with my ASD. I can't imagine going to school for some of the lengths of time you guys have. I understand the reasoning & admire your persistance...but OMG!! Hats off to you guys!!!

Hi will be 39 when I graduate! I am a much better student now then when I was younger! Not only that I am being a role model for my children...... they are watching me goes through this..... we are doing it together as a family....... They see the sacrifices being made..... What better motivation for them to continue their schooling when the time comes
