Recently I’ve hit some critical times in terms of how I perceive myself, through stained glass I appear successful, ahead of the curve and ready to take on the world. Through an open window it is obvious my house of cards is going to crumble if I don’t take up the bag that I put down several years ago when I quit school. At the sophomore collegiate level I quit because my son needed me more than I needed school - or so I thought. Now in hindsight I realize had I pressed on in the face of that adversity - I would be degreed now and a bit more advanced than I am in terms of career.

The truth is, my son didn’t need me in the way that I thought, he did in fact need help with homework - he did in fact need some dire behavior modification - but I didn’t have to quit school completely and for as long as I have. My truth is that I created this situation - and I alone can better my situation by finishing what I started.

But - my motto is better late than never so my return to school is imminent with Spring registration after Christmas. Truth can be hard to hear and face - but it is the only thing you can face, change and walk away from glad that you found it.
