I'm a senior now. One more year down at George Mason University (GMU). Juggling a full time job, 3 to 4 kids living in the house (the Old Dominion University [(ODU] child flits in and out), a busy hubby, and a full load in college is no easy task. But, I did it. I was surprised when I received a letter from GMU -- I made the Dean's List -- and so did my ODU child.
Going back to college (after a 20+ year break) was the best decision I ever made. I have met incredible professors and fellow students that have had a positive impact in my education and business.
My favorite classes were upper level courses in marketing, social media, journalism, entrepreneurship, and health management. I loathed the required IT class.
This upcoming year I will tackle some tough classes to finally finish -- I am excited.
Our household will have 3 in college in the upcoming fall semester. The two college youngsters will have no excuses but to get good grades -- I did it -- and so can they. Of course, they are already pleading that their social life is way more active than mine. Different priorities. However, I am more than happy with my social life.
