I don't think that you're ever too old to learn. Actually, I think that going to college when you're older means that you're really serious about learning. Too many kids really don't want to go to college when they're just out of high school. They just don't know what else to do. So you are to be admired, Traci, for your determination and hard work!!

I fully agree with Diana. My oldest went to college for 1.5 yr right out of HS and flunked out. She wasn't ready and couldn't handle it.
She recently went back with a full time job, a husband, house and 2 kids to take care of and was on the deans list the whole time. Motivation is the key...

well, I haven't made it yet. I was a straight A nursing student with 2 months left to graduate. My ex-boyfriend kicked us out to move his new GF in. I missed one clinical hour too many while trying to find a home for my kids. I was not allowed to finish. I tried to go back after I had the youngest baby. I did well my first semester, but let the school talk me into taking summer online courses against my better judgement. I took a full course load and being at home with four kids all summer, i couldn't find the time to keep up. So again i lost, but anything worth having takes fighting for. I will try again when the baby starts school. She is three now. Eventually, I'll make it.

Traci, I have every faith that you'll do it. You're out of strong stock... it will happen.

awww, thanks Tink. I know I will at some point. It just gets frustrating to get so close and something destroy all you have worked for, but I guess that's why there is a tomorrow.
