Challenges

School is becoming harder for me in the sense of time.  When I originally decided to go back to school I had returned to work after having my baby, and a lot of things had changed.  Within a few weeks of being back to work they started laying people off because of the recession and even though they didn't lay me off they cut my hours in half.  When that happened I realized I needed to start looking for a different job and I started thinking about what area would be good to go in to.  That is when I decided that the medical field would be the best, because unfortunately there will always be a need for it.  And I also wanted a chance to stay at home with my kids for the few years they had left of school and be a bigger part of my baby girls life. 
But shortly after starting school my hours were increased due to someone moving away and I had a lot less time to study and do my homework.  So it has been a real challenge to find the time and energy to do what needs to be done.  Not to mention dealing with kids getting sick and getting sick myself from the flu.  It's frustrating at times and at times I tell myself I'm just going to quit but I know that would be a bad example for my kids and for myself, so I keep trying to push forward. 
Fortunately, I do have a wonderful man in my life, who refuses to let me give up and kids who keep telling me I can do it, so for them and myself I will continue.
