I do take full Pell grants, full work study grants, full Perkin's loans, full subsidized (federally, no interest until I graduate, that sort of thing) loans and unsubsidized (no payments, but interest starts accruing immediately..ugh) loans. And, any other grant or scholarship anyone wants to send my way. (and work 2 jobs, plus parent 4 kids, and I'm also doing another Bible study course in my spare time...)

And, I dunno that I'm doing so well. I'm giving very serious though to quitting. I can't keep this up for years and years, and it will take that long to get a degree. I'm working very hard right now to make some plans, figure out how I can get a degree and not miss an entire span of my life, and my kids' lives, in the process. Life is far too precious for me to spend it exhausted and burned out.

Exactly, that was the ultimate point as well. Yes, it can be done, but some people have no idea what the personal cost is. Especially if you want to be a Godly mother who is there for her children. It is just really hard for me, to have people who have never lived it, try to weigh in on and be judgmental about a subject that they have no real understanding of.

Don't quit. You are partly resposible for my decision to go back to school. There are people that have given me inspiration to go back, and you are one of them. If you can do it with four kids, surely, I can with one! When you complete your task, then those nay sayers that "dis" you will be proved wrong.

I wish you much success.

Thank you! You know, I do understand the hard work you have to put into it. I was telling my instructor that maybe I made a mistake with all the work I have been doing. Supporting a family on one income, finding the time to prepare for sermons, buying a house, preparing to move into that house with maintenance, ministering to poor people, and going to school, has kept me busy and tired; I sometimes want to quit, but there aree also times that I'm glad I made this decision to even try. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Pace yourself. For what is worth until I was 31 I just had a high school education. I now have four degrees including a doctor of Jurisprudence. I have always had a full time job. Including law school. I merely purposed in heart the six years from now I was going to be six years older, with or without the education.

On the other hand. Pace yourself. No matter what was going on I set aside quality time for the boys on Saturday. It is not easy, but it can be done.
