Starting school...

Well after 3 years of being M.I.A from the school world...I'm finally going back!! I cant believe how much time I wasted...on nothing really the only good thing that happened to me in those 3 years was my baby girl. I've always been aware of the importance of school but theres always been something holding me back from doing what I want to do and I've stopped it..I told myself that I wasnt gonna let anyone or anything keep me away from school this time. So..I kinda have a plan of what i'm gonna do and how i'm gonna do it.
   1. I'm quitting my job--tomorrow the 30th is my last day--I realize how hard its going to be not having a job because I have a really big responsibility which is my daughter but I have some of the best parents in the whole world, they offered to help out in every way they can and until now they have. My baby girl is set anyway, she has everything she needs...even some brand new winter clothes lol but whatever she'll be needing while we go she'll be taken care of. I dont have any big bills to worry about each month so I'm good with that. I hate leaving my job because I've had it for 2.5 years and I've grown so close to my coworkers but can you imagine if we stayed at every job because of our coworkers..we'd never get anywhere. I'll just have to keep in touch with them. = )
    2. Put school first--yes I love going out, I love partying and having a good time...but it has to stop...for now! I know there are going to be times where I desperately need to get out of the books but I am going to be strong and just have to say no because the more I put this off the longer its going to take for me to finish and I really dont want to waste another 3 years because I couldnt say no to parties. Because I know the first time I say "ok I'll go out just this time", its going to ruin it for me because I'm going to want to say that all the time. So I need to keep my head straight...
    3. Study hard--I get distracted very easilly..especially when I have a very hyper 2 year old running around everywhere screaming and laughing..but besides her I have so many other things around me that I can easily just shut my books and start on those other things...like my laptop and being able to get on facebook or youtube lol...I'm just going to have to turn it off and put it away. I dont need any distractions..not while I'm studying anyway. I'll make time for the world..just not while I'm studying. I plan to give each of my classes at least 3 hrs a day and as I go i'll determine whether more or less is needed.
    4. Give it my all--Now when I really want something I go for it without giving up. I want a better future,  not only for myself but for my daughter. I want her to be able to have, I want her to follow her dreams one day too and me be able to fulfill half those dreams for her. She is my motivation for going back to school and for wanting something good for us. I want this, I want the satisfaction of knowing that I was able to finish something I worked so hard for...thats where my dedication comes in.

Well tomorrow the 30th of August is the big day...wish me luck!!
