Love you!

       I Luurrrrve you so much!!!

                                                       

Congrats on taking that step!!!  I have been thinking about it for a bit myself.  I worked for Chrysler for years, got laid off 2 years ago, and with so many dealers closing, there is no more jobs for me to go back to.  So now I guess I have to fiure out what I want to be when I grow up

Good luck!!

Good luck to you!!! Maybe we can take a class together!!

Laura,
You came to the right place!! I got married at 19, had my first son on my 21st birthday and had three more in the next three years. School was out! I too love further my education so I finally completed by Associates at CCRI in 2002 in Early Childhood Ed. I am and always have been, a "kid person!" I then went on to URI and will be student teaching this fall and FINALLY finishing my Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I'll be certified to teach Pre-K to grade 2 and can't wait!!

Ask your advisor to take the test that points out your strong career points and that will give you some direction. I can't remember what the test is called but it's an eye opener sometimes. I also love English and languages so to start,  I would suggest taking something you know you enjoy to get back in the swing of things. CCRI is the best! You made a great choice. Good luck!
Marie

Marie! What an inspiration - thanks for sharing your story. Good luck student teaching - it sounds like a lot of fun!

Congratulations on your accomplishments! I'm defintely going to ask about the test and I'll let you all know the results!

Congrats and good luck Laura!
IMO, the medical field is the way to go....jobs are everywhere!

Thanks for your well wishes! I was considering the medical field but I'm so unsure!
