Today was my first time being back in school after taking a few years off. I’ve enjoyed school a lot for quite a while now. I noticed last time I returned to school, about four years ago after taking a break for nearly five years, that I had changed my attitude about learning. I went from feeling bothered that my time was being used for something that I didn’t value to feeling very appreciative for the opportunity to learn. It wasn’t easy to squeeze into my schedule, it was hard to afford to go, and it was tough the first day of class, but I realized the wonderful benefit of learning in an environment dedicated to teaching me. Although I appreciated learning, it was very hard to give up time with my young son at the time. I decided to put my education on hold for a few more years to focus on treasuring the time with him while he was so little. Well, it’s finally the right time to return to school. I have a wonderful support network and all...
