Education

I think getting my education have a huge impact on my life. I am 35 years old and still trying to get an education. The reason I am in school at this age is to create a better life for my children and myself. I have been in school for a while now. I graduated in 1993, and had a baby 3 moths after graduation; so I started school later. I first enrolled in school in 1994. It was a huge challenge for me trying to go to school and raise a baby. I didn't have a car and I had to walk my son to daycare and then I walked to school. I was having so many problems it was difficult for me to concentrate on my work. My grades was slipping so I just decided to sit out. I went back to school in 2005. I was doing great; my grades was good. Then I ran into problems with trying to pay for my education. At the school I exceeded the amount of hours for financial aid. I just started taking in class per quarter so I can afford to pay for it. I was doing good for a while until I had to unexpectedly move out of the home i was renting. I paid rent faithfully every month and the land lord wasn't paying note on the house. She lost the house so I had to move. We lived from house to house for about 3 weeks. I finally moved into an extremely expensive apartment. I couldn't afford to pay for school; so I had to sit out of school again. Now I am here at Kaplan and I an getting financial aid and student loans. I also have time to work and go to school. I am doing ok now, but with an education I can do better. I enjoy my job but I don't make enough.
