College with Kids

It is gonna take me forever just to get my associates degree. I am not complaining here I am just stating a fact because of my situation. I really wish I was able to have finished at least an associates degree before I had my daughter because I feel I would have had a better chance at getting farther in the work place. Having a kid and going to school and working is well at lot of work. Its a lot of coordinating where shes going to be while I am at work and school and if I don't take online classes who is gonna watch her for 3 hours one night of the week? See what I mean. Its a lot of organization to make sure that I don't mess up and forget a class.

On the good side I have gotten a lot of experience as student and by the time I do get my associates I won't have to be looking for a new job. As a 21 year old with a child I have almost been turned down by jobs because of my age and situation. I have proved a lot of people wrong about single moms and young moms. I continue to grow and show people that a situation is only a situation and just because someone is in a tough situation doesn't make it impossible to be a good person and employee. I have always refused to be labeled like many young single moms are labeled as.


This semester I will be taking three classes which is the most I have ever taken since having my daughter.

1. General Anthropology
2. Accounting Principles Two
3. History 121

I have already taken the first class to accounting and history 121 so hopefully that will give me a hand up.

Next semester I plan on taking

Math
Speech
Science Class w/ lab

I have two science classes to complete and I so badly wish I did not have to take any science classes. I am so afraid that I will drastically fail and lose my grade point average.

Science is the worst class I will ever have to take. I get sick just thinking about taking those two classes. However I need to do one next semester or I will probably freak out if I have to take them both in one semester,

Overall I think I am on the right track and am not to terrible far away from graduating. I will be so excited when I do graduate because it is so freaking amazing to be able to say that I DID IT!

I know there were so many people who thought I would never go to school well look at me know... I am almost there! I can't wait to have my daughter watch me walk down after graduation and know that she can do anything she sets her mind to no matter what anyone thinks.
