Married with one 14 year old son whom I home school. I work full time (plus some) as a private duty CNA. I am currently waiting to hear if I have been accepted to my community college's LVN program.

I got my acceptance letter today! Whoo-hoo! We were told it would be 30-45 days after the May 9th deadline, but what'd ya know-- it came today! I've got orientation on June 11th, but classes don't...
