After not being in school for about 17 years, I have decided to return to grad school and get a masters in science. The field I want to pursue is very competitive, but my grades from undergrad are stellar. I just need to volunteer and keep on working until I get in hopefully. I don't know how I am going to explain my illness which has played a part in my work history. Also, I have to explain my interest in the field which I will look into more seriously. So, it will take me until next year to gain some volunteer experience. I am old though but still can learn. I hope to make it again!!
