Hi Everyone,

I took a giant step today. I have applied for readmission to college. I tried to go a year and a half ago but was unable to complete my courses due to being SOOOO overwhelmed.

I have bipolar and receive disability. I have special allowances in my classes; e.g., longer test time, someone taking notes for me, special seating, etc.

I already have a BS in Business Admin. but I thought I would try another undergrad degree in Social Work.

I have one more core course to take in order to start on my degree program. And of all things it's Prob and Stats!!! So that will be the class I will be taking Spring Semester.

For those of you who have gone back to school, what can you suggest as far as coping skills that helped you stay in school and not drop out. The most classes I took at one time since I have been disabled have been two.

I want to make it this time!
