Unit 5 Blog Post

So far school has been very influential in my life. It is hard because I am a single mother of 5 and I work full time but it has kept me on my toes and it is a constant reminder that even though I have all these things going on around me, I can do it! The biggest motivation is the fact that I have the potential to graduate in the coming year. My parents didn't graduate from or even attend college and this will be a huge accomplishment and make me a gem in my children eyes when I walk across that stage with my degree in my hand! I have a lot of family and friends rooting for me. They won't allow me to quit and there have been plenty of times that I have wanted to do that. It helps to know that my instructors can relate to some of my situations and will allow some leeway to assist me when I am late with an assignment. I haven't had an instructor that have been rude or mean. They all deal with the same issues and private lives as we, the students, have to deal with and that is very encouraging to know.
