Sassy,
I really needed to hear what you said. I was living with abuse and I got mostly a's. In fact, I had one friend so mad I wasn't doing better and she said you are so smart and school is so easy. I wished I could swap brains with you. It made her mad I did not apply myself more but she had no idea what was going on at home and I never told a soul.
I will look into grants etc. I also can defer my daughters student loans which they make parents start paying on immediately so that will help.
I want to do: and this is a first for me to put anything in writing. I finally told my therapist what I really wanted to do. He was proud of me for trusting him more.I want to finish the book I started and to stop thinking negative thoughts. I want to get my degree in psychology to go into research. I want to get my master's. My therapist, who is a psychiatrist, thinks I should consider med school. But that is so long. Maybe a research psychologist is a short thing to do. I don't know.
But I am finally admitting it to the world and I hope no one tells me I am too stupid to do it because that is what I am always waiting for, the other shoe to drop.
YES i will look back and wish i had gone to school.
Nothing really to lose except my fear. Maybe I am comfortable in that but that is sad if so.I will GIVE IT A TRY.
rsk
thank you so much!!!!!!
