So I made it through 8 weeks of college. I passed my maths course and still waiting on the Reading course I took. After leaving school at just 16 a very long time ago, and going straight out to work, it was a bit daunting but I wanted to at least try it and see if I could make it, and I did and now I move on to the next maths class.

I did not enjoy school when I was younger, I never did fit in, not only was I over weight and just ripe to be picked on by the school bullies, I was just not very good. All my school reports said that I tended to do was look at of the window and day dream! I just didn't find school very interesting.

I was informed by my mother that women never went to college, only men did and it was up to me to get married and have a man support me! Now this was only in the 80's and yet my mother still believed man brings home the money and woman does the cleaning! 

Well this girl was not going to sit around and wait for a man to bring home the bacon. 

So I have been working since I was 16 and now well on my way through my 40s and soon to be in my 50s and its now my time to go back to school and do something for myself. 

I actually like to learn now, when we arrived in the USA we decided to do our GED and then we did our Real Estate Licence and now I really want to learn more, and I will because I want to. I am not worried about school bullies now and in fact I should never have worried about them as a child, ask thanks to Facebook I can look for all those horrible people that made my life unbearable and see that in fact they didn't amount to much. If we knew that when we were young that bullies were really nothing it might have made school a whole lot easier to bare.

So as they say onward and upward and on to the next 8 weeks of maths and English and   hope that I can keep my grades up, while I work and bring home my own bacon lol
