Hello I am new.

tiredmommy3 · #1 Apr 27, 2007, 05:37 AM

I am a 30 year old mom of 3 children, who is currently "going back to school." After graduating high school, I went straight to work because I did not feel that college was for me. After trying to find a better job to support the family I kept hearing, "well if you had a degree we would gladly hire you." Seriously after the fifth comment like this I decided it was time to get it done. So here I am after 13 years of being away from the school atmosphere, I am trying it again.
I have completed half of the course, with straight A's I might add, but those were the basic required classes. I am now going into the management field courses and I am hoping that if there are any questions along the way I can come here and get some help? I would of course try my efforts in helping anyone else in this forum with any questions that I may be able to answer.

Welcome! I just finished my degree back in December (after working for 15 years) and can so relate to the "if you only had a degree" line.

Thank you to all of you who responded to my post. I a currently working on my final projects that are due in two weeks. So far I am doing alright with the materials. I am concerned about my next set; I will be re-introduced into Algebra 1a. I did not fare so well this in high school. In fact my skills involving any kind of numbers situation does not fair well. ( when my husband and I play Scrabble he has to double check my math). Now that is bad. But I am not going to let this hurdle get in my way. I might have to come in here to get some tutelage.
