Make a lasting change for the better
July 15, 2011
Being a mom is filled with rewards, like enjoying your children's affection and watching them grow into amazing adults - but when was the time you rewarded yourself? If you've been stuck in the role of mother so long that you fear you've lost some of your own identity, it may be time to go back to school to earn a degree you can be proud of.
You may think that at your age there's no point in trying to begin a new career, but the reality is that more people than ever are heading back to hit the books. Change can take on many forms and by earning a degree, you'll be able to change every aspect of your life.
If paying for college is a concern you face, you should look into financial aid and scholarships for single parents as a means to help make the cost more feasible in your current situation. Who knows where this first step will take you? By the time you're finished earning your degree, you'll have a sense of pride and an added confidence to go forth in a new profession.
