The influence of returning to school upon my life.

The decision to return to school was somewhat of a quick decision, but I decided with the help of my husband and children. The subject of nutrition has always held my interest, as has midwifery and I felt the two subjects dove tailed nicely together. Nutrition science became the program I began to pursue, and education became a focus in our home in a new way. Our family has looked upon online schooling as a very good choice, and my husband’s and my return to school has in a way blazed a trail for the children. The children have been tremendously supportive of our decision, but still ask if I am almost done with whatever project I may be working on, missing their time. I have made a strong effort to organize the amount of time I spend in the subjects I am studying so as to not lose sight of our priorities. There have been times when I have wondered if I made the right decision in returning to school, especially when I think of the costs I have incurred, but at this point to me it is almost like birth, to go back is impossible, and quitting at this point will involve a greater cost. To proceed however will bring great satisfaction and reward.
