Lord Help Me, Or someone, Anyone!

i'm almost 22, with two girl ( 4 & 1 ) and for the past 2 years i've been trying my hardest, to get in to college to do my lpn. well here i am still with nothing to show for. i don't know what to do anymore, the sleepless nights of academic upgrading, working and parenting. i wrote my exams in august to complete my upgrading ( biology, math & english.) apparently all 3 teachers have lost my tests. i was told i'm more then welcome to challenge my exams but it will cost me the same as what my courses cost me another $1587.00 . i swear no one wants to help a single mother anymore. i'm not looking for pity, this is the path i chose in life, and have no regrets. i just wish the goal of providing better for my children were closer to reach. should i just give up on my goal of becoming a lpn and just take a short cut to hca? maybe do my bridge when both girls are in school? does anyone know what the pay-scale difference is for alberta? it's still the same union right? i'm looking for any advice, i'm just to a point of desperation! is there anyone at all out there who can relate to my situation?

Don't give up, be persistant, follow your dream and your heart. Your children will benefit from you getting a nursing degree. Is it possible to look into financial aid? If you decide to become an HCA first you will earn money and experience, some employers even pay for you to go to school. (at least in the US they do) good luck, and best wishes.:wink2:
