Well Deserved Education

So after going to school on and off since 2005 and having several obstacles in the way I will be graduating in two weeks. I have to say I am so proud of myself. Going to school is easy but when life throws obstacles in your pathway it is so easy to just give up. there are times that I just stopped and said maybe I'm just meant to be a stay at home mom and take care of the kids, but I knew deep down that I needed way more than that in my life.  After graduating in 2005 I started on my pre-requisites for the Nursing program.  Then came along a little bundle of joy Reygan. I never stopped though I continued to work full time be a mommy full time and go to school full time. I was very busy. Then Came marriage and the army. I had to pick up and move to good ol Fort Hood Texas. While there life was crazy trying to adjust not only to married life but living the life of a military wife was a big change for me. So I tried to focus on our marriage and Reygan. Then came another blessing Victoria. After my husband deploying I moved back to North Carolina and started back taking classes towards the nursing program and got the majority of them finished. Then he came back and we moved to Fort Campbell Kentucky. Anthony deployed again and I was fixing to start nursing school at the local college and we got orders to fort hood. So I knew that the credits wouldn't transfer so I said screw it ill try to take a online program.  So I enrolled myself into the University of Phoenix with a desire in Criminal Justice.  Needless to say I have almost finished a two year degree in a little over a year. I am so proud of myself because in the same time I also had to be the wife of a wounded warrior and juggling that and school and the kids is and was not easy.  would life been easier if i didn't take so much on well of course it would have been but that is what makes me who I am today.
