How school is influencing my life up to this point...

Hello Again everyone,

Today I'm going to be talking about how school has influenced my life up to this point.
Well I NEVER thought I would have the opportunity to go back to school until last year when my sister in law was telling me about her enrolling in an on line school and gave me all the details about it.
I am a stay at home mom and when my son started school I felt useless, I tried to get jobs but nothing would have worked with my son's school schedule and the hours they wanted me to work or you needed a degree to get into the job. I was always depressed and didn't feel like anything mattered. When my son came home from school I would act as if everything was fine when really it wasn't. I saw a big change in the way my son was looking at school and I wanted to change that. When I started on line classes with Kaplan University I had something to do, I had something to look forward to and I know my son saw a difference in me as well. He would get up for school in the morning and tell me "okay mom don't be late for school" and when he came home he wanted to sit next to me on his computer and act as if he was doing his work also. Going to school gave me something to look forward to everyday because I know its one day closer to getting my degree and getting into a job that I know I will love as well as help my son have a better life. This term I enrolled into the honers program and couldn't be happier. With me going to school it has showed my son that even grownups have to go to school and to never give up on something.
Well until next time, take care...
-Nina
