The thing that makes me push on is my kids and thinking how hard I have already worked to this point and what I have left to finish. Accomplishing to get my degree is what I'm striding for and to show that I'm not a quitter and I can do this.

I know y...Making a committment to college is hard. <br />I know you've heard the saying <br /><i>"if it was easy everyone would do it,"</i> well its especially true for college. The reason so many don't get a degree is because its hard. <br /> <br />When you accomplish a difficult class, semester, or year take encouragement. <b>As you get through tough things, the next task will be easier.</b> <br /><br />You'll be better prepared to handle tough decisions in life. <br /><br />I know many of us have had a difficult year with the economy, each day can seem like a struggle for a while, but that makes other things we used to think of as hard or challenging seem much easier. <br /><br />Keep in mind just like Betsyanne said, if you don't pass a class or a term it's not the end of the world. It may feel tough but there are ways to work around it. I've helped many students over come a failed class or semester. <br /><br />Many are grateful later that they did fail because of what they learned academically and personally. Although it certainly wasn't something always appreciated at the time.<br /><br /> Keep the big picture in mind, and take one day at a time. This will help you work through the challenges you are facing or will face. <br /><br /> Turn to your support to help you. <br /><br /> *Talk to a professor you relate to, <br /> * A close friend or family member, <br /> * Or other students<br /><br />I found this very helpful when I found myself wanting to just quit. <br /><br />Keep checking out blogs like this to find the support you need as well. <br /><br />We can help you get through to graduation. <br /><br />SophieSophiehttp://www.sophiemaddox.comnoreply@blogger.com
