New Challenges last forever


posted 7/8/10 1:44 pm
Hello Everyone!

Well today is my Friday. I'm taking off tomorrow to do some errands, and I've decided
I'm going to go back to school.  So I'm going to check out online classes, with the
University of Phoenix and get my BS in Social Work. An eventually my Masters. I started
taking classes before my divorce when I was happily married. An then when that fell apart I had to go to work to survive. Well now that I have more energy, an I can still work my full time job, an take classes at home, I know that I can do this.  I've wanted to do so many things before, just never had the get up and go to do them. Now I can! 

Since I have 16 years before I can retire, I might as well retire from a job that I know I've made a difference in.

Since last August, I've quit smoking, I had a gastric bypass, and I've lost 47 lbs. Oh and moved in with Mom.  Which by the way, i will be moving out of Mom's I just don't know when. Some things aren't going well and this is one.

Now don't laugh, I want to go into Social work for gerontology, to help the elderly. Yes I know I can't help my mom because she refuses to let us help her. Some people want help, other's dont. But maybe this has taught me that I can help others with the same problems.  I can take what I've learned here and hope that I can help others from that experience.
