Hi Sarah! I agree with all of the folks on this post. What great, comforting words you have all given. I am an "older" Mom, starting my 2nd semester of pre-req's and have 4 children. My two oldest are 24 and 18 (both on their own) and I have an 8 and...

Well, this old lady did alright after completing her first semester of college (20 years after high school!!) 2 A's and a B...I really do wish I had paid more attention in high school...LOL How did you all do? Congratulations to us all.....keep it g...

I am 39 (and holding) working on my pre-req's & will hopefully make the fall 2003 nursing progam (RN) I am annoyed at myself for waiting so long, but I guess my life experiences will help me in the long run. I'll be 43 by the time I graduate (yik...

Well, I think we all deserve one, huge "WAY TO GO!!" I am so excited that there are so many of us out here, irregardless of our age or position in life, that have gone back to school & working hard. I am proud of ALL of you folks out there, provi...

Hey all! Yep, I had to go and spend $200.00 on titers, no less, because I could not find any of my immunization records. Amazing, isn't it? I have all of my kids records, from the 23 year old to the 4 year old, cards I don't want to throw out (that a...

Kimberly, I am sorry you've been so sick, I was wondering what had happened to you. I thank you for sharing with us the hazards about worrying and sressing too much and the damage it can cause. I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I am also one...

Good for you! Congratulations! :) See, hard work really does pay off. I am still finishing my pre-req's and graduation seems so far away, but I know someday it will actually be here! I agree on the repayment of student loans....LOL I think the demen...

Hey Seltzerguy... I am completing my first semester of pre-req's, headed toward my ADN. I am 39 yrs old, single mom and this is the start of the second chapter of my life. I agree, the corporate world, which I was a part of for a long time, is just n...

My best girlfriend, Clair, was 19 and trying to get to school that morning. She asked her Mom if she could borrow the car because she was running late and had to get to class, her freshman year of community college. Her Mom started yelling that she, ...

Welcome, ggfifi and paula4ms....good to have you here! I, too, am an "oldie but goodie" student. I worked in accounting for 20 years and really never liked it. I finally decided (after Sept. 11th, being a native New Yorker) to change my life for the ...

This is such a horribly sad story...Makes me really angry that this "person" (I use the term loosely) will not only be remembered for such a vulgar act, but that she has cast such a bad light on a wonderful profession. The fact that she killed this m...

Julie... I just wanted to say that your signature line is very descriptive of you...God has placed you in your grandson's life for a very important reason. It may take a while, but I believe that you will be able to change his life for the better. I ...

Count me in, Heather...I love the name...SNOT...I love it!! Let me know, ok? Have a good weekend, all!! Christine :)

OK, I admit it. I thought I could do it all. I am a single Mom, working full time, going to school at night and all day Saturday to complete my pre-req's...I got a 76 on my Bio test. I am so depressed. I cannot stand to think I can't do this...I unfo...

Welcome, Audi! I agree with Trauma r us...the stereotypes just don't cut it anymore. I am currently completing my pre-req's and have 3 guys in my classes. I could care less what gender, skin color or preference anyone has...just work hard to accompli...

Hi Kimberly and Marie!! Sorry you were so sick, Kim, but **congrats** on the nutrition test! I was sick myself, lost 3 days of studying time and grabbed a 76 on my bio test. Needless to say, I am annoyed at myself. I've been doing really well on all ...

Thank you all so much. You're right, Trisha, I have to rely on myself. I have been praying for the strength to get through this. I knew it would be hard, but trying to keep the house together is really stressing me out. I thank you and mkue for the g...

Hey Trauma... thanks for the great advice. I guess in a way I get mad at myself for not having gone back to school earlier than now, but at least I've taken the first step and gotten into the classroom again. You're right, I have always wanted to be...

Hi Franca, Thank you so much for the eloquent and caring words. I needed to get someone else's perspective and I think you said it beautifully, Yes, I know I tend to not want to accept help, for whatever task it may be. I do tend to be very "indepen...

Sorry to hear about that pain in the tushie!! We have one of them in our class. Our biology instructor is a medical doc from Russia that works all week long, like a lot of us, and then shows up at school to teach an all day lecture and lab. I think t...

I was born and raised in New York City, where my brother tells me it has been raining and sleeting for 4 days now, even tho last week they had 60 degree weather... I have lived in Arizona for 7 years now...hot as you know what in the summer...but I ...

Welcome to the club, glad you joined us!! So, you have to wait another year to finish...just think, good things come to those who wait, right? I'm proud of you that you're continuing on, never give up...and the good part is you're in a healthier cond...

Hey Allen... welcome to the club! Glad you're here...congratulations on your upcoming wedding, that is wonderful! I could loan you my 2 little ones if you'd like to find out how it is to go to school and have children running around your computer de...

Hey Nurcee, Thanks for the encouragement! We all appreciate it! The torture is sort of welcomed, I have waited so long to get back to school, I really am enjoying this! Of course, talk to me at finals time...I'm sure I won't be so chipper...LOL I see...

I think the thread to meet and support each other is a great idea...count me in!! Congrats on your GPA last semester, way to go! I'm on my way to the A list myself, I hope. I just got 100 on both my bio lab and lecture quiz. Man, I couldn't believe h...
