Mom of 5 headed back to school

I`ve been out of school for years and just headed back 2 yrs ago, boy has this been a real trip.
I was part time for the first 2 semesters but going full time in June. In these days and times we are living in it was the only thing I could do to help my family. I`ve been a stay at home mom for going on 13 years. I`m going into the medical field and I`m very excited and yet nervous, but I think I picked a demanding field in a world with so much uncertainty. I just hope I can accomplish this goal, hopefully with the help and support from my overbearing but loving husband. I managed to find school funding I never knew was there. I managed to get my whole schooling paid for, plus $750 for daycare or gas. I guess the system can work if you can find the right information. To bad it took over a decade to find it .
I wish I had a family like in the old days, the ones that helped one another, boy could I ever use that right now. I guess I kinda have that with a few family members, I`m not complaining, well maybe a little. It is very hard when you don`t have parents that are there for you , ya know grandparents for your kids to go to that really want to see them. Well I`ve been managing for some years now, 13 to be exact. We can`t choose our lives but we can change them for better or worse it`s up to us. I hope I can manage.
