Nontraditional Student

It seems like I have been attending college forever. I graduated in 1989 with an associates degree. I figured that was enough education; now let's start a family. As I started down the family road, I continued my education by attending night classes (online was unheard of at the time). Anyone who goes to night school knows what I am talking about. It seems like it takes forever! Then life happened and I am single again. I continued my education goals, but this time it was different: online classes!  For the past four years I have been going to school the online way. What an invention! I finally graduated in Dec 2007. So I said what the heck, I'll keep going. So I started grad school in the Spring.

You'll be amazed how many 'nontraditional' students are attending classes for a lot of different reasons. I am a first generation college student. I had little direction about higher education, but Lord willing, I am finding my way!
