"Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living."     ~     Gail Sheehy, 21st Century Journalist
Are You Worried About Managing School, Work, And Home Responsibilities?
The adult re-entry students can be faced with many barriers when making the decision to return to college. Here are some questions to consider when thinking about returning to college.
Why am I returning to college?
What are my goals?
Will my family support my decision?
Can I juggle my already busy schedule to include classes, homework, and study time?
How will my returning to college affect my homemaking responsibilities and my job?
Can I make the necessary sacrifices to reach my goal?
What are my options for childcare or taking care of my aging parents?
What are my financial obligations?
