My Story: The Long Way Around (long post)

Such an inspiring story!!!! That's exactly what i needed to hear right about now. Congratulations on graduating and getting your dream job. You certainly deserve the peace.

That is an amazing story...thank you so much for sharing. It just shows how strong we can be.You have gone through so much and struggled to find yourself and now you can be happy. You have people in your life who support and love you and what an inspiration you are to your children!!!
I have not had an easy road either. I struggle everyday financially as I am a single mom of 2 and do not get any day to day help from their dad. I lost my mother about 1 year ago, she was my strength, so now I am on my own. I have finally decided to go back to school (at night and on weekends for now) and finish my nursing degree. I do not know where I am getting this strength from, but somehow I will do it, one class at a time. My dream has been on hold for sometime, but I want to provide a better life for myself and my kids, so this will a journey we will take together.
Be proud of yourself for everything you have accomplished and best of luck to you in your new life!

your story was very touching. Congratulations and best of luck to you!

You are an amazing person and your story will be an inspiration to everyone that hears it. I know that you feel and have been told that you should be very proud of your accomplishments as a mother, SO, and a nurse......

So very beautiful and inspiring!

God bless you

You are absolutely incredible!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's really inspiring to me as I'm plugging away at my prereqs and hoping to God that someday my dream will come true. I am so happy for you that things are finally coming up roses, you absolutely deserve it and you should be proud of yourself. What an incredible example you have set for your children! All I can say is wow...

Your story is inspirational and appreciate it, you sound similiar to me and right now I'm probably at the lowest point in my life than I have been in 10 years but I pray things work out for me as they have for you, Congratulations! Good luck in your new life and never forget your accomplishments, your family must be so proud!

I'm printing out your story and keeping it by my nursing stuff. Every time I feel overwhelmed with everything going on in my life, I'm going to read it so I know that I can do this! Thank you so much for sharing your life story with all of us. I was very touched by your candidness. I often feel lost with so much stress in my life. I'm putting my head down and I'm keepin' on. Thanks again and I wish you continued happiness. You are so brave, your an inspiration!

God bless you girl ((HUGS))
That was not an easy road for you but I really commend you for being true to yourself and your children!!
