...that I found my colledges´ payment plan to show online for registration this morning and that friends are willing to help me carry the monetary load so I can stay enrolled and really start learning as of this month (even if I didn´t make the scholarship here :)

While college is not the only place to learn and you don’t have to wait until college to start learning, I so value the experience of a college and graduate education. Like you, I borrowed and relied heavily on the kindess of friends (and worked, too!). Because you sound as if you love it so and have wanted it for so long, do whatever you need to do to stay there and get your degree(s). barbara
Yes Barbara, college isn´t the only place, since it´s ongoing life itself that we (ought to) continuously learn from! But it took me 27 years to finally get to add this experience to it all!! Oh, and I do work fulltime >40hrs/wk as a secretary … but my kids are only 18 and I haven´t any other family at all (and actually hope not to be a grandmother = have baby-sitter duties too soon ;)
Happy Ney Year :)
Alice - even more congratulations! I finally returned to college full time when I was 36 years old and completed an undergraduate and then a graduate degree over 6 years; my children are grown, too, and I am a grandmother (a very young one) but manage to keep the babysitting down to reasonable times because I am now working on my third degree part-time. It took me a long time to acknowledge and accept my need to continuously discover the world and my place in it and that I enjoy doing that in an academic setting, as well as through real life experience. Kudos to you … barbara
Barbara, you are admirable for having accomplished to find your path much earlier than I did! It will be over the next 6-12 months that I will observe myself learning and decide on whether to follow a BS/BA to “only” further my current career or - lates suggestion of others - decide to add a Masters in order to do Online-Teaching myself! It would be nice to know what subjects you have been into, but I won´t be writing back today since busy otherwise for this evening (it´s just 5pm here). And let your grandchild know that he/she is known halfway around the globe already :)
