My education

How many of you are glad that we are almost halfway through this semester?  I know I am.  When I started going back to school, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do.  I quit school when I was 16 and waited eight years before I got my GED.  A year later, I decided to take a few college classes.  At that time, I really wasn't focused on school, so I quit.  Then in 2003, I decided to buckle down and get my education so I didn't have to work in a factory for the rest of my life.  Because I worked during the day, I had to take night classes.  It was hard to take care of the girls, work full time, and go to school.  After taking all of the keyboarding classes that were offered, I decided to go into the Accounting field.  I graduated with my Accounting Associates degree in 2009.  There were a lot of classes that I took that I didn't need, which is why it took me that long to get it going part time.  Now, I am working on my Bachelors degree and I need all of my core classes.  I hate to admit it, but I dreaded taking this class.  I did not think I would like it at all.  My mom and my daughter are the writers in my family.  I don't think it has been too bad so far though.  I have really surprised myself in what I have done already.  I think writing on this blog has helped me to free write on different things that come into my thoughts.  Really, I thought it would just be a waste of time.  But, it hasn't.  I hope I can get through the rest of my classes that I need to finish my degree and say the same thing about them.
