College On My Mind

Well, I did it! I successfully completed summer school without a hitch! I have a 3.0 in COLLEGE! Hold the phone! That's right! So with that said I am so proud of myself. I've been saying for 3 years that I am going back and this year I did it. Didn't put much thought in it. I saw how great my brother was doing and I thought, you know, I could have a masters by now! This is crap! I only need maybe 40 hours to complete my bachelors in business and human resources. That's not that bad!? Today I received a phone call from dearest friend Lana. She is a single mom with 3 kids and has worked her tail to the bone and been to hell in back! She told me today she was inspired by me going back to school that she now wants to go to college and pursue a bachelors in history! I cried. How could I inspire someone I don't talk to as much as I should? I guess we are all role models whether we know it or not. I am so proud of her and can't wait for her to come over on Sunday to fill out her FAFSA and applications. She is going to become so much more valuable than she already is. I start next Monday my fall classes and will be taking a history class, college algebra (for the millionth time), and a human resources class. Wish me luck! Need the thoughts and prayers!
