Merciful heavens, is she 24???? Seems like no time since we were
talking about where she was going to college!!



Yeah. Thankfully, she has now decided to go back and finish her
bachelor's. This time she is going to the local state university and
commute, working part-time and going to school until she finishes.
YAHOO! I finally convinced her that going part-time and keeping
chugging is better than not going at all because she can't afford to go
full-time. I think it hit her when her best friend graduated with her
bachelor's this year (from the same university). And they have the
sociology degree she needs for her LCSW, so that will work out fine. I
am very happy!

It seems to take some of them a while, doesn't it. My then air-head dd
decided to get married the minute she was 21. Oddly, she was the most
rebellious girl you could ever meet, then she married a man in the U.S.
Air Force!! She decided to start a family right away, and concentrated
on that, then suddenly woke up. Every A.F. base has community colllege
facilities, so she got her AA a year ago, and now is going for the B.S.
by distance learning, at an online school accredited by the A.F. as well
as some other organizations. Wonders will never cease. Actually, she
was working at her kids' school, and saw that she will never advance
beyond secretarial level without qualifications so decided she had
better get some.
