> 1. i once had an undergrad class with a 58 yr old in it. i actually think i got more from that than She did.
> she brought a kind of wisdom to the class that you don't normally have with a bunch of 20 yr olds :)That is nice. I am a little younger than that so I feel more optimistic.

> 2. and you might at first. but i must agree with your T. once you focus on learning and not about being socially accepted you will just slide Right into place. THAT i can assure you.You should like my t now.:)
>
> 3.it might be expensive all together, but take it semester by semester. you can get loans and may even be elegible for some grants out there.I am going to look into it. I already applied for aid. I do have one child already in school. So....

> 4.again read #1. you may feel uncomfortable, but you know what...so are THEY! and probably about the Exact same things you are...see you have something in common already ;^)Maybe, yeah you are right :)
>
> 5.well, maybe you can't wrap around that. how bout you just Accept what your T says for now. i mean he wouldn't set you falsley up for failure. if he thinks you got the brains for it (and btw, i know you do too) then trust that.Yeah, I just never thought of myself as anything really. Not even a person sometimes. But enough of that.

> 6.well, yes. this one is a toughy. but all i can say is regardless of the trauma, you NEED to continue moving forward. and i think school may also HELP balancing issues in your life.I think you are on to something. It might balance it. I need to re-read this daily. And I do need to move forward

> 7.and ok. deserving it. you know what. i don't care Who you are or what country you are from...EVERYONE DESERVES to have a great education...EVERYONE.I do already have a first degree but it is useless. I mean the credits will transfer so I have only about 1 year including summers and I will have a second degree. And then maybe grad school.
>
> and start small. if you're not ready to jump into calculus 480 at a major university with 100 other students, then start at a small community college where the class size is small, and maybe even to warm up take a class for fun. start with a literacy class talking about classic books, or an art or pottery class. just something to get your feet into the water of going back to school in general. also it will get your family used to your different "hours" at home. and if worse comes to worse...really who cares if you drop "beekeeping 101" right?? no biggy!I am starting out with about 5 classes stretched over the whole summer. To see how I do. I will also have to take a math placement test. Wonder how i can study for it?

> man girl i wish you the Best with this. just remember. take some time. let it sink in, and i say give it a dance.
> i personally think you will excel way beyond what you think possible.!!Now you should like my T. LOL Thanks so much it means so much to me to be supported like this.
