 As I have told you before, I have gone back to college full-time.  This summer was my first full semester, and it is a short semester(learn in shorter time frame).
 
 Well unknown to me how these things work, I signed up for two mini-semester courses.  Didn t really know what that meant besides going to school everyday for four weeks.  I NOW know it means you learn a twelve week course in four weeks[:(][:(][:(].  My classes where Public Speaking, and Educational Tools(learning to work with Mac s and Kid Pic s).  My third course was Technology and Society which lasted the full ten weeks of summer.
 
 Guess What???  I MADE STRAIGHT A s[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
 
 I could just scream to the top of my lungs, the only time I made straight A s before was my last semester in high school (all those easy courses).
 
 Will start back to college Aug. 20.

 NCSunshineCongratulations!!!!!!!  Doesn t it feel great?!  Just be careful not to sprain your arm while you pat yourself on the back.[8D][:D]  I was elated to earn a 3.8 GPA in my certification program through the local community college.  Now comes the job hunt.[:o]
 
 Peace be with you all.

 DanusmomA 3.8 GPA at Graduation, now that is a GREAT accomplishment.  I ve just started and have 1.5 years to go.  
 
 Yeah I know, have to watch that patting on the back stuff.  Just didn t know if I could handle it at this time in my life.[;)][:)]

 NCSunshineCongratulations with your great success.  This a.m., I think my left arm is sprained from all the typing I have been doing recently and packing boxes to move.  Again, much success in your education endeavors.

Maybe this is what helped me, she was a difficult teacher and several students who had big problems with her made complaints.  Not trying to say nothing bad, but when you give a test of 23 questions, and the highest number of right questions is 15 (she read the chapters 3 times) that s pretty bad, I read them 2 times and only got 14 right.

yes, last year my oldest DD was in third grade and had homework that I could not understand and help her with.  I wrote the teacher a note explaining that I along with DD did not understand so she could help DD.  That made me question if I could even understand college courses.
 
 Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement.
 
 Plus this is the first time I have done mulitiple quotes, and I learned it all HERE[:D]
 Great group of people here to help someone out.[:)]

I was too.  At 42, three DD s (9,4,3), my main concern besides my brain was time for homework.   Most of the time my DH is out of town all week and only home on weekends, it is chaos during the week.
 
 My hat is off to ALL SINGLE PARENTS, that work, school, help children with homework, etc.  I get exhausted doing it during the week without a break, and they never get a break.
