Thank you I really enjoy school, so I want to go back and pursue a graduate degree in math. I am taking time off until after the holidays, and then I am going to start studying for the GRE math subject exam. I want to take the math GRE next summer then start back to school next winter. I want to go back to school, and avoid the "real world" for a little while longer...lol |

Heyyyy Grad man, I send all the props in the world coz it's an incredible mountain you've climbed. I know that mountain well myself, as it took me many years to grad college post injury, driving an hour each way to USF, taking my own notes (which was very hard for me) and facing great physical obstacles, but it was my determined goal to get that paper of graduation, even though I feel a college education is somewhat overrated and filled with a lot of bullshit. lol Having said that, I think it gave me self-confidence, opened doors socially, gave me goals and knowledge and gave me the initial interest in writing. Congrats Mr. Stephen on a mission accomplished!!

I am really lucky to have a large family, and my family helps me. My mother works from home, so she is able to get me ready in the mornings...
My college day went like this:
First, my mom and her boyfriend would get me up and ready in the morning.
Then my grandmother would come pick me up and she would drive me to school. My grandparents live just right down the street from my house, so it was pretty easy.
My only real hurdle was that my school was 35 miles from my house, so driving back and forth took up a large chunk of time. I was always pressed for time and that made it hard to schedule my classes.
Other than the time crunch, there was no hurdles or difficulties.
