I just got my acceptance letter to the nursing program and there are no words to describe what I feel but feel blessed to share it with beautiful people who are reading this.
To know that I could share my struggle for others to read. The struggle of trying to better oneself' while balancing everything else around.
I thought that it was too late to start a career, because I felt that old due to comparisons..... but now I know that even at 26 y/o I can still accomplish this and god helping more to come.

The acceptance letter...what an incredible moment! Congrats :). I am so happy for you!
I am 28 and was worried about going back to school and starting a new career too. There are many people in our shoes. I am happy to be in school at an older age because I have a more realistic view of life and the maturity to get through school...I bet you do too.

Congratulations! Isn't it a great feeling to read that letter? And, by the way, you're a spring chicken at 26. I'm 43. Don't ever let age be a factor!!!

You are so very young and have a full, exciting life ahead of you to decide how far you wish to take your education and tackle this challenging, exciting career path. I went back to school at 46 to start pre-reqs and just took my last final last night to finish 1st semester of our RN program - I'll be 50 in September! I feel half my age - it's all "upstairs," ya know. In my semester, we have 47 students ranging from 20 to, well, 49 :) I've made wonderful friends of all ages. Most are in mid/later 20's and. You'll find you're right where you should be. Be so proud of continuing education, no matter the age. Forget the age and Congratulations on your journey!
