Being in real estate in East Tennessee has opened the door to a broad range of experiences. After several instances of total humiliation in the work place due to lack of "formal", continued education I decided to bite the bullet and go back to school.
This is something attempted and failed years ago when my daughter was a baby. Being a single mother, working full time, and trying to further my education seemed to be the impossible task.
I decided it was more important to be a mother to my daughter at that time rather than a student so I dropped out.
Years since I have found the lack of education can cripple someone and keep them from achieving higher standards/goals in their life. I grew tired of feeling crippled.
Now as a mother of two instead of one I am returning to school to finish something I set out to do years ago. My daughter now 17 and my son 12 are now helping me with my education. Strange isn't it? Is this what the Bible calls " once a man, twice a child".
I walk into Walters State Community College in Sevierville, Tennessee and see a mix of ages. Some look my age while others look years younger. I feel so old...
I look at their attire as they pass by me in the hall. Some are wearing jeans and tee shirts while others have shorts and tank tops on. Then I see my own reflection in the library window as I come around the corner. I see an over weight, middle aged woman in professional dress with stress lines across her face and the look of wander in her eyes. She's wandering just how old it too old for school.
