I to wonder at times if this sacrifice that my family is dealing with is worth the grief and frustration as I journey towards my second career. I work part time and go to school full time. My three children are teens, two girls 13 and 16, My boy is almost 16. I am a much older mother and student, 51 yrs of age so I knew that the road would be a difficult journey. My children are so very busy and growing up so fast. One day they will be gone and out on their own. The thing I struggle with is that I do not want to miss their last years in the house, but I want to send a message clearly to them that anything is possible no matter what the odds. I do love nursing school and even though I am not doing as well as I would like to and it takes a lot more time for me to soak the material into my brain, I do feel that this is the path that God wants me to take but, it can be very frustrating at times especially when I have to fore go the football, volleyball games and miss seeing my daughter perform in the high school band. This is my first year and sometimes I just feel beside myself about this decision.
