How school is influencing my life right now
Being a Mom,wife, friend and going to work everyday is taking its toll on me. I'm working in the field that I have always wanted to do. I am a case manager for a state managed care insurance division. I absolutely love it and my degree is for just what I am doing. I feel like I am sometimes missing my kids growing up by working and going to school. I know that I am lucky cause they hired me before my degree is finished. I'm doing this for my girls so that they can see that it is possible to better yourself for your family, but I honestly feel like I'm not giving them enough attention. My poor husband also is having to take up a lot of slack regarding the house work, cooking and the kids. He told me he is proud of me that I am doing this for the family but he cannot wait for me to be done. I love going to school, I have always enjoyed it. I guess I'm a nerd. LOL! I am constantly putting things that I have learned at school to use at work. It is very helpful working in the field and learning it as it is pounding it into my brain.

Hi, 14 Nov 10
ReplyDeleteI wanted to take a moment and just tell you that you have a lot to be proud of. Do not quit when you feel like everything around you is a bit overwhelming. It is however very important to take a step back at least once a week and spend time with your loved ones.
Your Children need a great role model and by you continuing your education, that is a great start in the right direction. Even when you finish this portion of your schooling, do not quit learning. Learn something new everyday.
You have a wonderful husband that supports you and has given you the room to expand your horizons. He may have already completed his education or he may one day decide to go back to school. And when he does, you will support him just the same.
Keep up the hard work and the focus to complete your goals.
