Hi folks,
Just wondering if anyone here has gone back to school after taking an extended break/hiatus for whatever reason (kids, family, career, life)?
Post what you can share about your reasons for taking the break, how and where you decided to go back, and your experience with it.
I went back to school to get
I went back to school to get my masters. I took time off from school to start my career. Shortly within a year I got married and within another year I was pregnant with my daughter. Took another year before I could go back part time for my masters, but as a teacher, you have to have a masters within 5 years to stay certified. Not fun juggling family and work and school!! We made it work though and I stayed in classes while pregnant with my son 2 years later. I even finished a week long intensive class on a Friday and delivered the following Tuesday! Glad it is over but it was well worth it! Now my husband is back to school and doing the juggling routine. Thank God we aren't having any more babies!!!!!!!
