As the Days go on

Sitting here at work tired and wondering and worrying what tomorrow will bring. The summer semester will be over soon, and fall will begin and I am regretting that I went to school and didn’t take a break. So many students, like myself, get so focused on finishing school in 4 years or less. And it may work for some but not for all. Working fulltime 730-1630 and a full time student taking 12 hours in the summer and 16 hours this fall, and to add being a mother and wife, I am burned out. I hear so many stories of single mothers in the same situation and involved in school organization that come out with a 4.0 and I said I can do that, but now I am like how in the hell. I am so tired so ready to finish, but haven’t lost faith. I know it is possible, but is it for me? I know there are single mothers on this site, young and old that have school, work, and kids to worry about and are making it very well. What is your motivation?

There are single fathers on the site as well give me you recipe for getting through school.

Hi,
I may not understand what u may be going through but I want to tell u that I commend u for expanding ur education. U are a good romodel for balck women in America. Even though u had to overcome some obstacles u never gave up or let any situation get the best of u. I would like to personal say that u have inspired me as ayoung black women and thank u!!! My words of encouragement is to stay focus and never give up on ur dreams because u have women or young ladies like me who are lookin to u for strenght. I want to give u some words of encouragement, never stress over a situation u can not control give it to God and he will handle the rest. I also want to tell u the more hell u go through the better ur future will be. If u ever have any negative doubt just remember that I personal look up to u!!! Keep ur head up!!! I will be praying for u!!!!
