Trying to balance
family, school and work
I have been raising my family for
28 years, so my decision to go back to school was a difficult one. It came with
a lot of thought and anxiety. I was scared of being one of the oldest people in
school. I
graduated from high school in 1987 so I have been out of school for a long
time. I knew I wanted a better life for
my family so I decided going back to school was what I had to do. I am tired of
struggling financially.
I started my college career this
past September. My family has been very
supportive, but I am having a hard time balancing everything. I feel as if I am
not able to give my all to my family as I should. I babysit during the day. I take 4 classes a week which is 12 credits
this semester. I am trying to take care of my husband and my kids the best I
can, but I am struggling. I hope that as time goes by I learn better time
management. I want to make my family proud of me; I want to succeed in my
college career.
Congratulations on your decision to return to college, and yes this is definitely a long hard haul and there's no doubt that you can handle this. But just think of the reward that comes with all of your hard work. Financial gain, the feeling of accomplishment, and the example your setting for your kids
