I am so excited and happy right now. I attended clolege for a short time after high school, but dropped out to work full time. The past few years I thought about returning and getting a degree, but it was never the right time.
A few months ago I started thinking about it again, so I applied to University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and today I got the letter - I was accepted!
I have not been in school for over 20 years, I am 38 years old. I am scared, but thrilled. This is going to be a big change for me.
I want to do this. I’m thinking of trying to get a student loan and starting up in the fall. EEEK It’s such a scary thought, though. Congratulations for taking the step!!

It is scary, but I am determined to do it this time. It has always been my dream to get a degree, and I am at a point in my life where I am ready to make this happen.
