Nontraditional Student Support

Except mine is a little more flexible since I am doing distance education towards my masters degree. Once I finish this class I will only have three left!!!!!!!!!! I have five kids, but two are office in college in another city, one in college here, one senior we are homeschooling and a freshman. I am starting a new job Monday. I know it feels nuts sometimes....................................

I am 29 and have 4 children ages 10, 6, 3, and 1 and am expecting baby #5 (edd 4/18/03). I know there will be a lot of juggling to do this, but I want this so bad! My dh is very supportive and I have family that will help as well. I think it will require a lot of determination, but just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Good luck!

I'm doing my pre-requisites now, hoping to start this next fall... I have five kids 21, 20, 15, 13, 11. The 21yo is living out of state with his wife and newborn, the 20yo is going through a divorce with a baby that we offer LOTS of support with. The 15 & 11yo are Down's Syndrome, high behavior, nonverbal, lots of self-injurious behaviors, the 15yo is blind and has dementia and our 13 yo is autistic.......

I can certainly relate to ya'll. Lucky for me my husband is behind me 100%!!!

Anyway, there are a lot of us non-traditional students out there, and the "kids" don't seem to mind us too much. I'm even being asked for advice on school stuff-shocks me!

My hats off to you for working full-time and going to school full-time !
