Well its offical I start school on monday.I got my books yesterday I forgot what it was like to carry all those books.They seemed heavier than in high school.Or maybe its because im not as young.Anyways I couldnt of picked a better time to go to school,my cars broke,Im in desparate need of a job,thats enough stress.Now school but Im not going to let that bring me down.I guess thats a sign from God that maybe my life needs this big change and hopefully everything will work out.I just pray that it does cause i really need good things to happen. ive had my share of rough times,well more than my share.Sorry I just needed to get that off my chest im very stressed right now .well if anyone knows anyone in florida fortmyers capecoral area looking to hire please let me know.thank you ladies for all your love and support.

I'm sure Roxxie is finding out that school at our age is an all-consuming experience. I don't get into this site as often as I did before starting classes, and I'm only in one right now. Between working 36+ hours per week and studying algebra, as well as helping Becky with her kids, keeping our house halfway decent and hubby happy, I'm meeting myself coming and going.. [Embarrassed] )
So when I don't post for a few days, don't assume something is wrong. Same for Roxxie. I'm sure she is very busy, especially if she has children at home or is working.
Roxxie, just keep on plugging away at it. It will be worth the struggle in the long run.

roxxie -- check with Edison about jobs on campus

when i went there i tutored accounting for students having trouble -- so if you're good at something -- they will hire you to work on campus on a schedule that works around your life -- they only pay $6.00 an hour -- but hey -- you're on campus anyway -- its a way to make some extra money and study at the same time [Smile]

they also have jobs available posted on the bulletin boards -- try the cafeteria -- i think thats one place they post -- and another is in front of the personnel office -- in the same building that the libraries in -- down near the elevators on the first floor

Thanks,there are plenty of women there,that have full time jobs with kids and go to school full time.They offer all kind of hours to work around peoples busy schedules.So I say go 4 it when you decide anyone can go back.And it makes you feel good inside.

So happy to read about all the women that are becoming students! I am also attending community college in hopes that I will find a career path that is right for me. My children are 14, 12 and 6...they still need me so much, I can't do more than one class right now, but I am loving it! Taking Biology in the fall, I am always excited to start class! It's nice to complete something and earn a grade...does a great deal for one's self-esteem! Everyone, keep up the good work!

Maylene
