Finished School

Whew............... So after waiting 15 years to go back to school I just finished my Associates degree. It feels so good to have finally completed it. I amazed myself by actually doing my classwork and wanting to get good grades. I was lucky to be able to do the entire thing online making it easier for me to do it when I wanted to and not have to be constricted to a schedule. I feel so empowered now and feel that I can do anything and know my son will have a better life because I did this.  I'm also so excited because I start my Bachelor's degree on the 22nd of this month. This one will take about 2 years but again, it's all online!  It has been tough at times, since the hubby wasn't all supportive and his "selfishness" took over at times and got mad because I had to be on the computer for hours at a time getting stuff done instead of hanging with him. Even though our apartment is so small you really can't get away from each other. But now that I'm learning about BP and the stuff that comes with it, I'm learning to not take it personally and let it go.  I've come to realize that that BP's want you to be at their beck and call at all times. I'm not that type of person, never have been and never will. But did realize that I started to become that person just to "ward" off a fight. Never again will I do that, I will stand my ground and be the strong woman that I am.  School has helped me realize that I can do anything! Too bad it took me 33 years to realize it, but that just gives me the opportunity to do what I want and be proud of it!!
