Going to school finally

[laurie01]

Hello Everyone

I am so excited today. I am 40 years old and have been trying to get into school for the longest. I kept running into every NO and not now that you can imagine. Today I got a yes in November for Pre Reqs and then a great maybe that is based on my GPA that I will have upon completion of my Pre Reqs. It is not alot for those of you that are done with school or that have already made it past this point. I can say that for me this is my obstacle that I have overcome. I have done some really dumb things when I was a kid, that have so far cost me just about everything that was good for me in life. I always felt like I got the bad end of the deal. Until I met my Husband who told me that everything is possible as long as you believe. I did that I started to believe in my dream. I am here I am going to school in November or January whichever is open after all my paperwork is done I will know the for sure start date. I am so excited to be where I am at right now that I had to tall everyone that is thinking about school or is already in school. I just want to say be grateful for where you are because I truly am grateful for the slot that God has opened for me. I am so excited to know that I will be able to provide a better life for my family now. I see me in school as a start at a new life with a great beginning. I thank all of the members here for the post and the support you guys are awesome. This group is one of my motivators and it is great to be able to share this with the group.

Thanks Again

Congratulations! I too am an "older" student and am loving every minute of it. When I started my first prereq, I was so nervous going in as I knew that I was going to be one of the oldest in my class and I wondered if my brain still work after all these years But once I got in there, I found some other "older" students and discovered that I loved being a student and learning. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
