Just A Thought- Future**

[GrayTimelessBeauty]

Its incredible the amount of accomplishment I feel from just enrolling in LPN classes. Background: I was originally employed at a very popular hospital. Working in the Nutrition Services Department world made me strive to accomplish so much more. I planned on getting off of work probation and attending my state university. I would recieve my Tuition Reimbursement and be sitting on lot of money in between work, income taxes and school loans. I suddenly was fired for something that has absolutely nothing to do with me. *--Long Story. But it switched my circumstances and put a huge damper in my plans adding that in 2013 I began taking LPN classes but had to stop due to accreditation. So everything has been hard. Then At 19 Years old me and my boyfriend were expecting a little boy. SO after 4 1/2 years of being in a serious relationship I decided to have my baby. Now all I think about is making our future as secure and wealthy as possible. My parents could not do that for me so why not for my child? I get very nervous wondering if school will be too much to bear with such a young child and low income. But anything is possible with faith. I look forward to long stressful nights of studying and reading. Because I want to the feeling that I'm doing something important. I feel like I'm too young and lack the level of maturity needed to succeed. But I've always been the lazy student. The girl that was so brilliant, creative and smart but wouldnt work for it. I can't even count the amount of teachers that were angry and disappointed with me. Here I am the girl that passes every OGT first try with nothing under a 470 but won't turn in my homework. So my biggest stressor right now is trying to talk myself into being serious. No daydreaming, goofing off or being lazy. No excuses or procrastination. I plan to make it all the way to a PH.D. Not only Nursing but Psychiatry also. I just need to discipline and train myself to just do it. I know through good study habits and strong work ethic I can succeed but I must first believe in myself. No more games. I look around and everyone I know has spent so much time playing that they are nowhere near where they need to be. Not me!! I promise not only myself but the child I created. I want to pull up to a 350,000$ house one day with an expensive pond I barely pay attention to and a pool I've never swam in. These are just my dreams and everyone has one. Plenty of them! Encourage yourself first! Realize that you are important and you want to be like the woman with the incredible success story. One day I want to be the woman giving advice to a 19 year old terrified immature new mom who wants to better herself. Right now I am saying the things women think. Congratulations to you if you are in the same mindset as me!! Goodnight 

Well, it certainly sounds like you are highly motivated to reach your goals. Motivation is a powerful thing. Much success to you.

Many have completed LPN and RN school with young ones at home. It is do-able. Just keep your focus and you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

Thank you. All encouragement Is very appreciated . I just re read this. Lol its crazy how fast the mind travels at 2 o clock in the morning ! But I plan on staying very focused although being focused somewhat intimidates me. I guess its just the human mind.
