RETURNING BACK TO SCHOOL

AUGUST 28, 2014

Doris (Gayle) Craine

I been trying to go back to school for years but I’ve been scared because I have always look at myself as slow and dumb; but I have been talking to god to help me and give me the straight to go back and he keeps showing me things every day.
My kids have been trying for years to get me to go back so I would stop saying all the time I wish I could go back and they would always say; mama there is no reason why you can't go back to school, we’re all grown up and out of your house 2008 was my last permit job I had. Working temporary was hard when you don't have a degree or masters they only let you work long enough until they bring somebody in with no experience

    I decided to return to school for personal reasons. Returning to school is something that I have thought of doing for a very long time. I guess you could just say that I have been very lazy and procrastinated for a long time. I tried to go to college right out of high school but it did not work out.
