Jbug,

How wonderful that you now have something valuable for your future to concentrate on. College is a wonderful place to gain knowledge & make us feel good about ourselves, along with giving us something that we can plan our futures with.

I know when I went back to college after many years of disability (to my pdoc surprise), it felt so good to actually accomplish something for myself. I decided that the path I was on wasn't quite right & wanted to go back into the CAD end of interior design....then my mother's cancer got to the point she was dying. Now, a job isn't that necessary except for the fact that after being an aerospace engineer for 15 years before disability, I still seem to think of myself more as my career rather than anything else.

It has changed now so that my horses and riding are now my life & my passion. I think that is going to be what I settle with in the overall scheme of life. It is good to find what we have a passion for that gives us satisfaction with ourselves.

Sounds like you are going to be doing well with your school & that can give you a focus for your future which is what we all seem to need.

Congratulations & good luck...& hard work,
Debbie
