Kick the school's AXX....

i took an 8 year break... Im a dummy and Im 6 months from my masters...
You'll be amazed how different school is now... You're gonna do great!!

If you're worried about english I had a great prof once that told me that no matter the subject try to make the story about yourself... It ends up sounding a lot more conversational... Worked for me...

We should create an area in the forum called "The Fridge" where all of us students can post grades...

 

[Wolfman]

Good luck young lady....go get em!

I went back to school to BECOME a high school teacher, at 48 YEARS OLD !!! I'm a tool and die maker by trade, but GM chose to send my job to China.
You'll do just fine and silence the critics.

Congratulations. The first step is the hardest one. Teaching and learning continue to evolve. The books are better ("Painless Grammer" by Rebecca Elliot) and we now have on-line interactive English instruction. Reading and especially writing will help you master the concepts.

At 49 years of age, I was asked if I'd like to teach middle school and it continues to be the wildest ride of my life!

Carpe deim, ender :thumbup:

Very cool Steph, you'll knock 'em dead!

I think you find that once you want to accomplish something, instead of having to do something, you will excel at it.

You'll do great! :thumbup:

Well, first day done! :cheer: My brain is absolutely fried. they want me to concentrate on one subject and have a shot of getting the credit by the time the school closes for the summer (June 24th) and then get cracking on the others in the fall. Seems to be a good idea, other than the one I picked to go at hard is the math... Annuities, compound mortgages, equations and algebra...I could really tell that I hadn't cracked a book in 13 years.
Do you KNOW how hard algebra is when you don't remember the rules???

1 day down, a bunch to go.

My wife is an 8th grade math teacher and some of the stuff she teaches them is crazy. So I can only imagine what you're dealing with lol. I loved math when I started college, but shortly after I quickly got sick of it. It may get tough but keep going! :thumbup:

i was the opposite. I hated calculus until I started to understand it, then I enjoyed it.

Good for you Steph!

There's nothing to be stressed about. It's not how long you have been away from school; it's whether you're motivated to succeed. I took 4 years off after high school, and started right back up in college with no problem. But I was super motivated to succeed and it worked out.

Good luck, we'll be right here with ya :thumbup:

[necrotimus]

All i can say is :rtfm:

j/k of course... i've always wanted to have literary discussions and theoretical math discussions with my motorcycle friends

LOL I'm sure all of us would be only way to happy to (corrupt you) help you

 

[jtarkany]

Congratulations! Good for you :thumbup:.

I finally graduated with my BA in Anthropology from UCSB last year at the ripe old age of 42, it is never to late to pursue your goals.
