If you really really want to do...Don't give up. If you really really want to do it everything is possible. I do believe in that.Is there another way intp teaching if that is what you want to do?<br /><br />I think to be honest we all do this, when we are young ,we don't really know what we want and then life sneaks up on us and it turns out just fine.I know I am certainly not doing what I planned, but am I any less hapy for it?

But.... that's the point. You had to let something go to get the life you have now.<br /><br />And there is more than just lettings things slip. <br /><br />My favourite quote of all time says "two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less travelled, and that has made all the difference".<br /><br />So, you took a path that not everyone takes when you saw the options you had at that time. Great.<br /><br />Now you have more forks to choose from !<br /><br />Your desire to learn all the time is a great thing - not everyone is the same - and maybe that has given you these new options ?<br /><br />I think there is nothing wrong with letting your kids experience everything and showing what the options are, but they will have to choose their own paths when the time comes and all you can do is arm them with knowledge.<br /><br />Sounds like you are the perfect Mum to do that doesn't it ? Especially if you finish the degree and maybe have to forgo a holiday or two along the way.

At the time of my course, all those years ago, I just couldn't cope with being by myself and having no support. Spent most of my time in tears.I was a bit of a wreck!All this will sort out in the end.It just feels a bit sad at the moment that the whole Degree thing is not going to happen.SAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317766743752185380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-62982580180045500912009-06-23T20:33:31.788+01:002009-06-23T20:33:31.788+01:00When I was young and ping ponging through college,...When I was young and ping ponging through college, I thought I understood stuff. I guess the learning process did sink in because life's quest has always been that of wanting to know more, to understand more and to fiddle with the ultimate question of "Why?"<br /><br />Despite our best efforts, our children haven't had the same hunger to learn that I had and still have. Seems best to relax about that, all we can do is what we do and ever so often push ourselves to do a little more.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
