Hey, sweetie: I went back to school last year at age SIXTY-TWO; I am older than those kids' parents!
i really never thought I was smart in high school (living with abuse), and was a "C" student.
I have taken two classes...sociology and psychology; I passed both of them, after working all day and going to class from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
Usually you can get financial aid or a grant, etc.....there are so many resources out there!
I hope you will consider trying.
It doesn't matter what ANY ONE else thinks. What do YOU want to do?
YOU DO deserve to do what you want to. Life is short....live now, gurlfriend!
Will you look back years from now, and WISH you had gone to school?
Yes, fear prevents us from doing this. There is a book (read it years ago):
"Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway"
What have you go to lose?
I say ignore all of the negatives and at least, GIVE IT A TRY.
What is the worst thing that can happen?
Hugs n Love, Sassy
(Freshman)
P.S. i won a women's scholarship (Linda Lael); all I had to do was write about my life; I was 1 of 10 out of 1,600 applicants in the U.S. and Canada; so my ugly life worked for me!
