School is Everywhere

Well its that time, that I never thought would really come. School. Me, 45 years old in School again! Once again I am a student. Ive been through 116 college credit hours of classes and still do not have a complete degree. This does NOT count the Medical Assistant Diploma that took 18 months or the EMT class that took 6 months. I am not only in the RN Program, but I also finally answered the call and I am in Bible College. Some people think Im crazy, I feel like I am running a race to win this time!

Miss Riana is in her 11th grade year and loves her classes, "except for creative writing" which I dont understand because she loved to write on everything, including walls when she was little. She loves to write, she is just having a hard time adjusting socially to her new school. It hurts me deeply inside to see her struggle. I wish I could just stab myself and somehow transfer that pain to me. She loves her Medical Office Technology classes and it just amazes me that they teach kids in high school now, how to be able to step into the world and have a decent job! It took me FOREVER to get the education that she is just naturally getting. I am so proud of her and she is like a sponge. She learns Quickly!!!

Mr Benjamin states that he loves being in 9th grade as he is the "ruler of the school". He loves being the "big kid" finally, as he has been the baby brother all of his life, until Miss Shandee arrived at Dennis and Angie's house.

Mr Joseph is enrolled into his second year of college at SLCC and he is doing "ok" he says. I worry about him, being in Mo and He in Utah. I want to be there when he needs to talk, but it doesn't seem to be an option at the moment. I am so thankful for technology, as I can talk to my kiddos daily.

Mr Andrew hasn't talked to me since June, but I hear he is working two jobs, trying to get some things paid off, save some money, and hopefully go to school when the time is right. He lovely girlfriend Miss Lily keeps me abreast mostly of his condition, and I am so thankful for her. Andy seems to be turning into and Andrew.

Well I don't have much more to complain or praise about. School is here and we are all trying to
survive. More to come.....
