College Bound


"Congratulations! You have been accepted to Roane State Community College. We have received all required documents and your admissions file is now complete." This is what I read upon opening the letter from the college I have applied to. I am so excited! It's all set. I am registered an have my financial aid all in order. I start classes on August 29! Woo Hoo! It has been a dream of mine to go to college. I was all prepared to go fresh out of high school, and then chose to get married instead. Once the children started arriving I just never got back to it. I have been a life long learner, self teaching myself many many things. I never stop learning and trying to learn. It is very important to me. I was to be the first in my family to go to college, my parents were so proud. Then I disappointed them by getting married so young. Now I am excited to tell them that I am finally going! I will still get to be the first in my family to go. Which is a little sad now that I think of it. But I am just so happy that I have the opportunity to do it right this time. Also, by waiting til I am forty to go, I know without a doubt what I want to study. No floundering around trying to find myself, and what I should do. College here I come!
