The First Straw

>Returning to school wasn't an option for me, after getting laid off I spent most of my day sitting around the house doing nothing. Most days consisted of watching television or web browsing. My husband would always say"babe why don't you find something to do?" I would reply I am! soon this started to take a toll on my marriage. One day i said to myself "Shalawn what are you doing? get it together girl! While surfing the web i came across an add that stated,"Obama wants mothers to return to school, now is the time". So I click the link to see what information was available. There was a list of courses to choose from, so I checked a couple out and stop to think what is it I want to do? What would I be really productive at?. I decide to go with the healthcare feild so I checked out the health sciences course. Then I seen that there was an online course I could take, this was coolfor me since I spent so much time on the computer. After fully looking over the requirements I decide to give it a try. A list of schools that had the course, I narrowed it down to the two I was kind of familiar with from seeing their commercials on TV. It was either Kaplan or Phoenix. I visited both sites to fill them out, both where good and the choice was hard . I decide Kaplan was right for me. When I first start this program I was like wow this is cool it's gonna be easy..... that was first term . I started out with two classes this was great seminar once a week and a whole week to get my work done great. Pass first term with a 3.5 and made the deans list. I felt like it was a peice of cake, ........ flashfoward now in my fifth term which I struggled to make it to, I don't feel it's so easy now. It's like the more terms you complete the harder it gets and the more classes you have to pick up. For now I'm just going with the flow and doing what has to be done. Til next time....see ya'll soon!
