Hello friends, I personally love the on-line classes. I don't have to stress with attending classes and being on time. Saving gas money is a really big plus and another one is sitting in comfortable clothes while I am in class.
It is so flexible, I do my homework any time I want to. If I can't sleep I get on line or read. Each semester I get more efficient at scheduling my study time and working around the rest of my life. I am less stressed during exams, I use to lose all the information I had studied because of stress. My brain would go completely blank. There are a couple of things I might change if I were in charge; I want to see my exams after they have been graded to study what I got wrong. But I'm not in charge and my time at Kaplan has been just great.
Hi Janice,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog.
I know what you mean when you say that you were raise strict. I was raised strict as well. I am not shy by any means but I am working on being reserved sometimes or shall I say, I am trying to be "wise and use wisdom".
When I was growing up, we better had said "Yes, ma'am and No, ma'am" or you would get a whipping as we call it. I have raised my kids the same way and now that they are 20 & 19, I am trying to help them to see some of the mistaks that I have made in the past so that they won't make the same mistakes that I have. It has really been hard.
When my first child left to go to college, I thought that I was going to flat die. My nerves went to pieces and plus going through the hormone/change of life, did not help at all. I talked to plenty of older moms in order to try to gain a better insight as to what I was feeling and what I needed to do in order to make it through life myself without going nuts.
All of the moms told me that only "PRAYER & the Lord" was what kept them from going nuts.
Now, that my baby has gone to college as well, I feel totally LOST and kicked to the curve. I try to help them but they tell me "Mommie, I can do it myself" or get the feeling that they do not need me any more.
As I think back on what others have instructed me, I recall that two of them told me that there will come a time that the kids will make me feel as though they didn't need my help any more and that's a fact. They also told me that, when kids are small, they are on your toes; but when they get older, they are on your heart. I have found this word of wisdom to be very much the truth.
I have been praying and asking God to give my two daughters, a good boyfriend who will end up being a very good husband and father, plus one who will love the Lord and follow God as well and ensure that his family will follow God also.
So, now you know. Pray for me and my family and I will most definitely keep you and your family in my prayers as well.
