With this term almost finished and our papers complete, I find myself thoroughly exhausted. I'm not sure that it is only from school itself, but I think just from what life has handed me over these last few weeks. I have become so overwhelmed and am just waiting for some relaxation and me time. Although with 4 kids, me time and relaxation are not something easily achieved. I do, however, feel very accomplished with all that I have done. I know I am not the only one to have done this, but I still feel it is a great achievement. I sometimes have regrets for not completing school when I should have. I had a full ride to Michigan Ann Arbor when I graduated high school in 1994, but I guess life had other things in store for me. I met my husband one month before I was to leave for school and something told me to stay. We shared 13 wonderful years and 3 fabulous children before he passed. Now, 4 years after his passing I find myself back in school and taking on the world once again. I have 4 terms left here at Kaplan to complete my program of study, and I will be starting my clinical studies in July. I am so excited and can hardly wait to start that part of my studies. I have also decided that after completing this area and receiving my AAS, I am going to complete another 5 terms to get my Bachelor of Science in Health Science. If that doesn't leave me satisfied I will keep going. I can hardly wait to see what is in store for me.
