I am officially back in school! Yesterday I paid my first tuition installment and today I completed my course selection. Last night I cleaned out my binders of notes from classes I took over 7 years ago. It felt good, a clean slate. My money is funny right now but I couldn't be happier. Excited to do back to school shopping, the first day of school, learning again! Essex County College is the best choice for my situation and I have full faith I'll have my Associates in Education within the next 2 years. Hopefully I'll get an extension on my unemployment so I can focus on classes and transitioning back into student life. If I have to work part-time, I've set up my schedule to be off Fri, Sat, and Sun so it can be done. The future is getting brighter, I feel encouraged and so much love and support from family and friends, and today is the first day of the rest of my life!
