Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Congrats Becky! I like to take an on line class every year or two, just to make sure my brain is still functioning. It's very different than being in a classroom as you really have to keep your schedule up yourself and not let anything slide. Taking a full class load will be a challenge, but I know you can do it!! I suspect it's hard for either your Mum or your Stepdad to get very enthused about anything when they have their heads in a jug every night. They are too centred on themselves to be concerned with giving you a genuine pat on the back. I hope you get a room mate and get to be out on your own. Either way, one thing I would recommend is Al-Anon. They can teach you a lot, which will help you concentrate on you and your school work. http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/english.html Lyndi Rebbecca Nix wrote: > I was accepted for financial aid and into college!

I have wanted to go back to college for over 10 years but was unable to. My major is Criminal Justice. My second choice for a major was Medical Administration, but I have to deal with medical more than I would like as it is lol. > > I am still living at home with my parents who are not very understanding when it comes to my health issues. My step dad is more understanding than my mother, but it still makes it difficult. The fact they both get plastered every night also makes it difficult, but I'm hoping to find a room mate or something and move out soon. If I can't, it's OK. Neither seemed very proud or happy I got into school, but again my step dad seemed more proud and happy. My mother is more money oriented in life which is probably why. I know she is proud, but comes from a different era lol. My biological dad was very happy and proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thank you ! I am happy about it! My credits from when I went to college around 12 years ago were transferable, which makes me happy. My academic counselor called me today to inform me of that. It means I don't have to take as many classes. Love, Becky in NM Schafer wrote: Congrats Becky! Keep us updated.
