So scared and nervous!!

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right spot, but I really need to get this off of my chest. I start my LPN program on the 29th of this month and I am scared ********. (Pardon my French) I have been working towards accomplishing my goal of becoming a RN, and I am finally on my way towards accomplishing my goal yet I am scared that I am going to fail. Isee so many people telling me that I am not going to be able to work part-time (3 days a week) as a CNA and do well in school that I am now doubting myself. Not to mention that I have broken up with my fiance' and I am now a single mother to 4 children (13 months, 6,8.10). I guess I am just needing some advice from people who have been there who can give me some advice, and maybe reassure me that I am not making a mistake. Thank you in advance.

Most of my classmates have atleast 2 to 5 kids and have to maintain full time jobs. Its not an easy thing to do but if you want it you can do it, let that be your motivation. I'm about to go into my last semester of Nursing School and we are making it.

It might be a little tough BUT, do not let others get into your head and do not doubt yourself. Your children will be your motivation. I have a girl in my class working 2-3 days a week as a cna, with a daughter, and doing majority of the work. I myself am a single parent to 2 children (7 yr old and 14 month old) and so far I have all A's and 1 B. Just pray, think positive, manage your time very well and wisely, and you will make it through :)
