I have an appointment set up with my adviser on the 6th to go over something totally unrelated so I'm sure this topic will come up and hopefully we can work together to figure out what's best for me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136971835857942609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3708241870814479419.post-65810416398446131672009-07-27T12:05:05.559-04:002009-07-27T12:05:05.559-04:00I agree completely with what Sarah said... especia...I agree completely with what Sarah said... especially with the part about your degree choice. If you are not passionate about what you are doing, you will not be any good to yourself or your children. Talk to a counselor at your college to see how you can work your classes into something that will fulfill what you REALLY want to do.<br />Good luck and keep your chin up!!Lorie Shewbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021526379136899314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3708241870814479419.post-74301482265388445882009-07-27T03:27:37.784-04:002009-07-27T03:27:37.784-04:00Girl I hear you it's so hard balancing all the...Girl I hear you it's so hard balancing all these balls with sometimes little or no help at all. <br /><br />I'm learning to take more breaks and not take on as much because then I go into shut down mode and that's not helpful for anyone.<br /><br />Hang in there sweets and you know I'm always just an email or phone call away.<br /><br />Much love my dear!Alexis AKA MOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829562970824293447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3708241870814479419.post-51921863904381128122009-07-26T20:38:23.739-04:002009-07-26T20:38:23.739-04:00Girl, Keep your head up high.

This is a 4 year program that, in addition to class work, was the "Adult Degree Program" which means I taught alot to myself. I had 2 children 5 & 3. Looking back, I have no idea how I did it....And I did it in 3 years instead of 4. You have to set your sites on the goal and just charge towards it. Dont let ANYTHING stop you. However, if you no longer want to complete that degree, go see an advisor and change your plan. If you arent passionate about your future, you wont be excited to get there. <br /><br />As far as daycare, I hated that too. But if you find a good one, you wont be sorry. I enrolled my son at the age of 2.5. He turned 5 in January and started school last year. Not only did he get the very important social skills needed for Kindergarten, he also could read and write above grade level last year. I take no credit for that...<br /><br />It will all work out. Dont stress the small stuff and dont give up your dreams. Hang in there...<br /><br />~SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
