Perhaps it is the maturity I have gained or the reminder of the tuition that I am paying; whatever it is, this attempt at college seems different than the last times. Yes. I said times. I appreciate it more now. Partly because I love what I am studying, but mostly because I don't have as much time as the traditional college student to get this done. I feel as though I have lost a lot of valuable time and because of that I am working harder than I ever have.
Long hours of research, reading, homework, studying and at least 375 flash cards for studying (most of this just up to midterm) have caused me to miss out on a lot. I haven't been to church since I started. I haven't had time for lunch with my beautiful friends. I am so tired that when I do have free time I crave, not going out, but rather, staying home in my pajamas and doing nothing. There have been a few moments (like midterm week) when I was asking myself, "what the heck did I get myself into?" Well, what I got myself into was an opportunity to change my life; to get an education, to set an example for my children; to try and experience new things (and foods. YAY food!); and to challenge myself like I have never done before.
I logged into my school account to check my midterm grades and found that 4.0 GPA I set out to get. I'm on my way people. Crusin' in my 4.0 to graduation day. I know that there are going to be days when the road is rough and winding, but I am not getting off until G Day.
Thank you God. For giving me this opportunity and for surrounding me with family and friends who are helping me navigate this road trip.
I love you all!!!!

So incredibly proud of you! You are an amazing mother, woman of God, friend and now, student. I love you and I'm so thankful you came into my life. You rock! You're an inspiration to many, especially your children. Until we meet again, I'll be on the sidelines cheering you on all the way to the finish line!
Love, Victoria
