Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well! Life these past six weeks have been crazy for me! I have been stressed to limits I never knew I had. It has been so difficult to balance my family, school, and work life. My father has been battling some health problems and I am in the process of getting my transitioned from his current speech therapy into a local school system based therapy. It is similar to an early preschool program, he will go to school with other children and will get speech therapy and help with any other learning delays he may have. It will be so good for him, however, having to deal with all these appointments can be very time consuming! I stay at home with both of my children during the week and it is very rare that I ever get time alone, except on Saturdays which is the one day a week that I do work. Like a lot of my fellow classmates, my schoolwork has taken a hit lately due to all the circumstances in my life right now. My grades have fallen slightly, and sometimes I barely get my work in before the deadline. I chose to attend Kaplan so that I can show my children that they can do anything they set their mind to and that its never to late to achieve their dreams. I plan to go further as soon as they are both in school, I want to eventually get my master's degree in nursing and become a midwife someday. I know its a long shot and that it will take a lot of hard work to get there, but attending Kaplan is a great start! I know that finally having a career will help my family out a lot and will make me great about myself. I just have to remember that my kids are my main motivation for attending school, and try not to let all the circumstances in my life stand in the way of achieving my goals! :-) Hope everyone has a great week and good luck on the draft!!!
