Even mothers with small children can find ways to make their education a reality
October 12, 2011
One of the fears that grips many mothers who have a desire to go to school to complete a degree program is the mental toll that it could take on their children. Luckily, there are a number of childcare options and ways to manipulate a college schedule so that even mothers with small children can make their career aspirations a reality.
It's important that you keep a consistent mindset going into your degree program. You're taking the steps to create a better life for your children, and you're also providing a positive example that preaches the importance of higher education. Simply put, there are far more positives that can come out of the experience than negatives.
When you've completed researching college grants and scholarships, try to set up your schedule around your children's school days. If you can complete most of your classes in the morning, it can leave you the rest of the day to do extra work and be there when they come home.
Lastly, reach out to your family and friends as a way to find a reliable person to watch after your little ones if you can't make it home in time.
