Taking it Back!!

Good morning all, I have not been around much lately and for good reason. I have been studying!!!  You see I never graduated high school, but not because of my grades. I had excellent grades and really only struggled with math..ughhh! I quit in the 11th grade because as a morbidly  obese student school was pure hell thanks to my fellow students. I was tormented to the point of literally being unable to function so I left. I let them take so much away from me. Don't get me wrong, I have had a successful career through very hard work. I chose to leave that awhile back as well to focus on ME! I have a wonderful life now, great husband, nice home and wonderful health but I NEED to do this for me. I am choosing to actually attend Adult High School classes and get a regular diploma versus going the GED route and I could not be more excited. I start classes Jan 8th. I will be required to pass the TABE test prior to starting so I have been studying. Thank goodness DH is great at math and you know, these things are really starting to come back after all these years. So as a 39 year old high school student life is pretty good.  Go and take back whatever you gave up or lost to obesity. It is never too late to do that! Hugs,
Donna

I just can't think if a word to describe how great that is, and I even looked at a thesaurus. I hate it that you went through all that when you were younger, but dang, you're making up for everything. They should feature you on a TV show or something.

How wonderful! You are an inspiration to any who think it's too late to complete unfinished goals.
