Well being at school has been something that I was so excited to go back to, once I was ready. Well actually once my Dad thought I was ready. As soon as I proved to him and showed initiative that I could do this he said he'd support me and pay for it. But it was a lot harder than I thought. It honestly took me two years to take the productive steps and prove to him that his money would be well spent, and not quickly wasted. He was nervous that I'd be in over my head and not know how to be productive, study, and get grades to his standards. (Nothing lower than a C first semester, and nothing lower than a B the remainder of college.) By putting this responsibility on me really helped me understand how serious he was and how serious I needed to be. If you give, you get. And I gave it my persistence, and I got my college education paid for.
But what I realized having a job without an education is that you have to work SO hard in a job that pays minimum wage. And being a roommate, or not having extra money because I had my own apartment was not the way I wanted to see my life. I wanted, and needed an education to fulfill the lifestyle I have grown accustomed to and be happy! I know I'm smart and with hard work, dedication, and persistence I get the goals I've set out for accomplished. And oh, it has never felt so good!
