Pre-Student22

Thats what makes it long! I did the same in the past 2 classes per term, people who took 3-4 are done with school! light at the end of the tunnel, a friend told me the same, since you said I believe things happen for a reason. I will do the same. I decided to go to Brooke heaven college!

Based on all these answers and yours I have decided to go to college to become a RN, not a LPN/PVN...........will take longer, but I am starting to have more faith in myself based on answers like yours. I need to stop running.....I agree, if I stick to it and continue to study I will do well, and I do need to stop beating myself up when I don't get something the same day! College seems to offer more help and I can go to the professors! I agree with all you said, my thanks!

I am almost speechless!!!! Reading this I have no excuses. What made you go back to school? This is amazing!

****Can't e-mail you yet until I post 15 times! But yes am interested!

Awww I love stories like yours, makes me rethink about myself. Your daughter is what keeps you going so you can be a wonderful role model for her! I do need to push myself..........maybe instead of studying 15 min of math 3 times a week, it needs to be daily and a few more times a day.

LVN school is at a private school, but to be honest I wish I did have a learning disability! I was checked out like three times, all my classes were somehow at a normal level, but math! I use to be great at math in grades 3 and under, but after failing once...........I found ways to skip it, I know its my fear in it. But am not learning math fast enough and that worries me, is it possible to maybe have some form of disability in math?

Thats what I have been thinking I should do, but then I want to leave home so bad! I know a career in nursing is rewarding and also it won't be hard for me to find a job..........been job searching for over 6 months now! Unskilled jobs are quickly taken. I get what your saying and it may be the best thing to do, but then I have this huge want to leave him.

Your right, I need to stay positive, but its so hard! My family reminds me that I went to college for two years!! I thought it was one, but I guess two! I spent my time bringing up my grammer, basic stuff I should have already known! It did help a lot because when read my past journals when I was 18 for example some of it made no sense! I did have a math teacher, when any student asked a question he would say I already went over that and didn't pay us any mind!!! So I didn't take the test, but now your at college algrbra? That is 100 percent amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing but A's? I should put fear aside, tonight I am studying my butt off. Just worried about if my mind can keep up with me, I need more faith.

: ) Tons of fun with mother, but your right I shouldn't give up, just highly nervous since my math skills are too basic and I saw a list of things we would have to learn like dose size ect. and the math.....just jaw dropping! I am not sure if they have tutors there,but hopefully the teacher will be understanding!

Hi, New member here! I decided to become a LVN here in Texas (same as LPN in Florida) My mothers a LPN, and even though she is struggling with bills and such, I know nurses make awesome money, and work seems to come easy and I can afford to live on my own! I am 21 years old! I went to college when we use to live in Florida, I did pretty good, but failed due to my home life that is stressful and not uplifting. I had two math classes (basic math) that I failed because I never showed up for the test. I knew I was going to fail, me and math don't mix well, because I fail a lot. My major then was RN, two years later I still didn't finish school due to good old math, the school I had said I had to pass a math class before any other classes would open for me. My mother said she would go to sign me up.......I am 21 and in order to get goverment help to pay for my classes for low income families my mom have to sign me up or I have to be 25 years old, or married. She laughed and said lets see when you fail this what new excuse will you have? She always talks about me living with her forever! My school years in middle school were running.......I learned nothing, but to run. My school was ghetto, and the kids didn't like my shy ways and well I learned nothing. So I am even more behind!!!!!! TO THE POINT: I know how to add, I know how to solve time tables........but I have been slowly trying to learn the lower numbers like 3-12 times table by memory, because in order to do division I need to know the basics by memory,and yes I don't know how to do divison : ( I never learned to because I knew I would mess up anyway. I know I would make a awesome nurse, I care about others and never rush with people ect. But I am suppose to sign up this Aug. but my math skills are so low...........to be a LVN/LPN you need mad math skills..........can I learn fast enough? SHould I give up and live with my mother? Why is my mind slow with math?? Any advice?
