School and I have a complicated history.
I did really, really well in school when I was a kid. Went away for university, ended up withdrawing my first semester because of a combination of homesickness and, I don't know, lack of motivation?
Came back to town, enrolled in community college, withdrew again because of lack of motivation/not caring.
One month after Joe died, I enrolled in community college again, online classes this time, withdrew within 2 weeks. I was overwhelmed, confused, felt stupid, and again the lack of motivation/not caring.
So here I am again, attempt #4. I registered for my classes yesterday. Two classes, in person not online. Math starts 8/25, one day a week. English starts 9/22, also one day a week. I'm hoping that by spacing them out I'll be less overwhelmed.
Please, please cross your fingers and say a prayer that I get myself together enough to show up to class and do well. I have major anxiety about showing up someplace new, not knowing anyone, worrying the teacher will make us speak or go to the board in front of the whole class - like it seriously freaks me out, it's that social anxiety I guess. I really NEED to get these done. I need to get a degree ASAP. My college attempts are actually a joke in my family.

good for you for not giving up & trying this again. i KNOW you can do this! i so want to go back to school as well. good luck!
Good luck. Just do your best and don't be afraid to ask the teachers for help. That's what we are for (at least that was always my stance when I taught).
I know you can do this. You are a strong, determined young woman. Good luck-although you are going to be great without it!
You can do this!! You go, girl!
What helped me finish college at the age of 45 is I never came home with homework. I was always too distracted at home. Instead, I would study and complete assignments in the campus library.
Maybe that won't work for you, but I'm sure you will find something that does! :) Best wishes! :)
You go girl :). Just look at everything you've already accomplished. You can do this.
Good Luck
PS. that was me :) Penny :P
