A Second Chance
I think school and getting an education is important no matter what your age or background.As for example i will use my personal situation.After being a survivor of severe spousal abuse.I am 40 with 4 children now.I left, picked up and moved to GA with my kids.I attend a technical college and am fully enjoying the freedom to go to school and have that second chance to educate myself to improve mine AND the lives of my children.Its not easy. Being at a college who have dedicated teachers (who want too see an individual suceeed); makes my journey through this alot more pleasant. Being young, school seems to be a "have to".I dont think it quite prepares you for all the other unfortunate possibilities an individual may encounter.However, it will lead us in a more positive direction in preparing for "adulthood". And when many of us dont catch that the first time around, its wonderful that we can "go back" at 40 yrs of age.At 40, its no longer a "have to"; but a "PRIVILEGE". I enjoy college and this second chance. For all you younger people...PLEASE go to school and get ALL the education you can before you start reproducing. And for anyone a lil older(lol); its never too late for that second chance if you really want it(no matter what your age or past is).
