"All I want is to not be a burden to anyone anymore."

Man have I said that a lot, ha... It took me until I was 27 to stop being a burden to my family and I still have to borrow money like once a year because I barely scrape by and my student loans won't go away. Ugh.

My mom got her masters in psychology at the age of 55. It was very difficult, and she has a lot of trouble with math in particular due to a dyslexia with numbers that I don't know the name of now. It was a dream of hers, just like having a family was. She chose to do the family thing first and still wanted the degree, so she went and got it. If getting a degree is what you want to do, then you go do the darn thing. You're definitely not beyond being able to get one!
