Well here I am, back in school FULL TIME after 10 years. I have been in school since then, however not FULL TIME. This is like starting all over for me, from the beginning. The last time I was in school it was an ACCELERATED (13mos) program paid for by my employer at the time. The program was for electronics. This time however, after working for H&R Block this past tax season, I have decided to go into ACCOUNTING. I find that I like working with numbers and people more than I did with electronics. Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the electronics, but this I hope with give me more opportunities to work with people.
I have found that since being in school last, lots have changed, like using BLACKBOARD. When I was in school I did not have BLACKBOARD or WebCT. I submitted all my work directly to the instructor the old fashioned way, pen/pencil and paper. The work was graded and handed back to us.
This time I am also dealing with lots of other issues as well. Since the last time I was in school, I am now HAPPILY married with two (2) wonderful children (a 3½ yr old girl & a 14mo old boy). This can be a struggle to balance everything, especially since I am taking 15 credit hours, A FULL LOAD! What was I thinking when I signed up for all these classes?
Is there anyone else like this? Any suggestions on how to balance it all?
I am also attending school again for the first time since high school. It has been almost ten years since i have stepped foot into a classroom. And i have never had to use a computer before. I also took a full load and I have a two year old son. My girlfriend tries the best she can to occupy our son while i try to do my work but that is not always possible. The only advice I can give is do the best you can. I also like to remind myself that when I get through this program i will be able to gt a good job and then maybe my family will not have to struggle like we do now.
