FoundMyCalling

I've been in classes with 60 year olds. And my GF has 90 year old Psych major as a co-worker. Crazy right?

bump. for 2nd day of school

lol. Cake Walk. I've worked 35 days straight. I paid the damn price though. It seems do-able. Go for it. Just imagine loafing around the house for 2 weeks a month!!! wheeew!!! road trip any time you like. Visit lost relatives. Do it!!! I would. I just like work too much though.

I regret not doing research and not knowing what the hell school was for as a bright-eyed kid stepping foot on a college university at 17. I just knew I loved school. Didn't know that it was to get a job. I grew up and now I know what I want to do. I fell in love with my current girlfriend and soon to be fiance. I guess everything happens for reasons. Thank God we have a decent life span. :-D.

Good stuff. I am proud of you. May you have a long and fulfilling career. I also left a four year. Had to suck it up and move back home for a bit. Good luck to you. Have fun. And I triple-dog dare you to go to just one college party.

Hope your dentures don't fall out or you don't fall asleep during your clinicals BORTA!!! Just Kidding, Borta. LOL. No, good luck. I admire anyone who attempts to further themselve's in life. Good Stuff.

Don't you see that I used the term "self-proclaimed"? It's okay. I'm good.

I recently expressed to an older family friend how I was self-conscious about going back to school at a semi-older age. He told me flatly, "You're dumb. Quit worrying about what you look like in your speedo. Jump in the pool and SWIM!" That was some of the best advice anyone has ever given me.

lol...I'm just excited that I have a plan now. God Bless. It just took me to put it down on paper.

I honestly thought the reason we go to school and choose the careers we choose was for the occupation and love for the job. I didnt realize we worked our whole lives to chose a career we didnt like. Stop complaining about money. Everybody hates the stresses of their jobs and the fact that another job has better perks or pay. Get over it. Welcome to society, welcome to the world, welcome to human nature.

And I do consider myself smarter than most. Maybe haven't made the best decisions to date, but I'll kick someone's ass in jeopardy or chess. lol.

I find intelligence "in theory" to be overrated. There are people as dumb as **** to do great things with their lives. And Geniuses who haven't done too much of anything. There are congressmen and scientists in Mensa just as there are welfare recepients. I guess I AM just now getting with the program, as I see that you are. What's your story?

life has a funny way of humbling us all...lol... Maybe I was great student with a bright future. I messed up and stopped caring. It's ok that you're an ass, it is. Life throws us all lemons. I hope you never had to experience what i did. Maybe if I were looking at me through your eyes i would be a joke too. I honestly believe intelligence is overrated in a world full of billions.

My dad was 33 or 34. Uncle was 30. I have an aunt that is in her 40's now and she's pursuing a bachelor's in Sociology. I guess my family is progressing/evolving.

I thank you all for the encouragement. I'm only a 2nd Gen college student. And i'll probably end up getting my degree at the youngest age.

lol. My SO. is deep into her schooling. Plans on getting her PhD. By the time she is 28. lol. She's 20 now. I love the hell out of her and I am suprised that she would have anything to do with me. I want her to get her PHD so badly. I know she'll get there. We just have to hold off on the children for a few years.

ok, I'm 22. Coasted through high school. Got offers from various schools. :banghead:Failed to make up a blemish on my high school transcripts. Ended up going to Sacramento State, Undeclared. Did well my first year. Joined the best African-American Fraternity between my freshman and sophomore years, :banghead:Failed horribly. Had no idea what I wanted to do with life. Became estranged from family so I submerged myself into the fraternity. Went to a local community college. :banghead:Failed again. Worked for Hollywood Video, did well. Was moving up. got tired of it. Decided to continue going back to school. Continued to fail. Fell into depression. Went 5150 like Brittany Spears and Katt Williams. (It was so far from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", although there was an older gent who dialed the Operator constantly to contact Ronald Reagan) I really did this!!! Went to St. Joseph's medical center for a few days. 4.5 to be exact. Met and banded with a few young men. Grew restless without having a career or finding my calling. I've contemplated and contemplated about what it is I want to do. So after 4 years of struggling to make it in this world I sucked it up and moved back home. Enrolled into Mission Community College, Hoping to get into the LVN program. Trying to go on from there. I honestly believe that I am here to help people. So, 22 years old and starting all over again and very excited. . Hopefully I can use this brain that God gave me and hopefully some of the wisdom and life's experiences that I have obtained and become a Registered nurse. I love God and know that he puts us through things for reasons. I've struggled. I've cried. I've felt like dying. I know there are people who have done worse and are going through worse. Starting on this new path. May God be with me every step of the way. DOn't know how far I may go. Whatever I may end up within the Nursing Field I hope to make an Impact. I love and admire the profession so much after my stay in the hospital. Wish me luck. I consider myself young. I just want to get as far as I can before God calls me home. As you can see, I have had a rough journey myself. May God be with you. Good Luck.

I'm 22. Still Undergraduate age. Finally worked up the nerves to pursue nursing and am starting in February to become an LVN. Anyone in similar shoes? Tell me Stories! Let me know that I am not a damn failure and there are others in this boat.
