Hey Moms...

...have you ever thought about going back to school? Enrolling in a correspondence course? Starting a new hobby? Try this:
1.
Ask for help. You may need help with things like babysitting and
homework. (Yes, homework!) Make a list of those who can help with your
various needs … and don't feel too proud to accept their help.
2.
Seek alternatives. Some schools have alternatives programs, such as
free childcare, community classes, or correspondence courses. Talk with
advisers to see what alternatives are available to you.
3. Don't
give up! Schooling is hard, but the time you put into it will improve
your future. Also, don’t feel you have to finish by next year. If it
takes you four years to complete a one-year program … you’re still
done! Remember that you will reap rewards in the future for sacrifices
you pay today.
4. Finally, remember that YOU are your child's example. Be the person who can show your child to follow big dreams!
