HOW EXCITING!!!!
What kinda classes are you taking?
I'll be 54 next month and I get free tuition since my hubby found a full time job at the local university. I made a list of 49 classes that I'd like to take as a non-degree student...think I set my goals too high?...lol
I'm so happy for you! Hang onto your hat....new future here it comes!

Good for you Margo! That's so great! It's never too late to get an education:) I'm in high school, so we can gripe about exams together!

Great! You are officially a role model. If you are going to be working it might as well be doing something you enjoy and are good at. And that isn't often minimum wage, no training stuff. Tell us what your classes will be and your goal. We're rooting for you!

Good for you! I would love to do something like that too. But everything seems to be so technical and I am not. So not sure what to take if I went back. But that is something to be very proud of.

Good for you Margo! It has been a couple of years since I took a class at our community college. I took the community Gardening class several spring semesters. I took the class because it cost less than heating my greenhouse. I kept making the same "A" over and over again. But got tired of driving to town to water my seedlings. So now I just stay home and draw YOUR Social Security. I'll try to save some for you.

Awesome! What types of classes will you be taking?
Also, where is Leroy? I've been trying to figure out where you are located and haven't had a chance to google it yet.

Leroy is over on the west along 131--about halfway between Cadillac and Big Rapids.....actually a "village" !

the encouragement from you all is fantastic!!! i know i will have my work cut out for me and going part time will take longer but hey!
ok- all my life i have wanted to teach however i think there are too many wonderful "kids" coming up who need those jobs!
i have for years felt that the elderly need special folks-advocates etc--and i was a caregiver during 7 years of my marriage- and i feel caregivers get the real raw end of the deal.... so!
i am working toward the associate in applied science- human service -when i get to the bachelor program the focus goes much more into gerontology...so---
i think it will be wonderful - i know it will be taxing some times but-ya know what? i am UP for it--and i may call on many of you for help or a shoulder!!!!!!
and i LOVE being a student!!!!
