HELLO EVERYONE.

I AM 30 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE DECIDED AFTER MANY YEARS OF BOUNCING FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL TRYING TO FIND MY NITCH, TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND OBTAIN MY BACHULARS AND THEN MY MASTERS IN EDUCATION. I WAS REALLLY EXCITED ABOUT IT THROUGH OUT THE SUMMER AND SPRING, BUT NOW THAT GOING BACK IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, I FIND MYSELF WORRYING MORE AND MORE. ONE OF MY MAIN WORRIES IS WEATHER I WILL BE ABLE TO PULL IT OFF DUE TO MY ADD AND DYSLEXIA; THE OTHER BEING ME BEING 30 AND WONDERING IF I SHOULD JUST GIVE THIS UP GET A JOB AND HAVE A FAMILY BEFORE I GET TOO OLD; THE OTHER BEING MESSING UP AND BEING IN SCHOOL FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE PLANNED. AND TO ADD TO THIS, OVER THE SUMMER I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A JOB WITH THE BOARD OF ED BUT I DECIDED OVER SCHOOL. PLEASE TELL ME I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE HERE SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eyebrow: VERRY CONFUSED HERE

School, when you know what you want to do and are there, is one of the most stimulating things you can do. Make sure to get the accomodations you need and don't be shy about forming relationships with your profs. Stay on top of things, both in class and in regards to admin stuff, and you'll have a wonderful time.

Good luck!

I'm 31 and just returned back to school this past winter. I too had a lot of anxiety do to so many past failures. I agree with bcaddkid about getting the accomadations and talking to your instructors. Many schools offer a lot of support services too. Try to take advantage of everthing you can.

Many schools offer a lot of support services too.Massachusetts must be wonderful.

I am 43 years old and just starting back to school. Talk about feeling like it might be too late. However, I have a supportive therapist and I am detrermined. I would say never regret going back to school at any age. The earlier the better but its easier before you have a family! If you dont go you'll always wonder if you should have. Getting your degree will enable you to get what you want instead of being limited to what you could get. My therapist was a VP of an airline and he went back to school at 50 for his MFT. He's now 70 and still loving his decision and working strong.

I'd say: make sure your disability is treated and have a good therapist that will talk you out of giving up!
