Back to School

Going back to school, I thought would be fun and exciting. It has been a long time since I graduated from high school, seven years to be exact. A lot of things have happened since then; I got married, started my family and matured a lot. But there was always an emptiness, not achieving my dreams kept me unhappy. I know I started backwards. I have a great family, and I don’t regret anything I’ve done, but achieving my dreams has and will always be a priority in my life. This is why I decided it was time to get started on the path of my always dreamed life. It has been hard. Taking care of two little ones that demand all the attention in the world doesn’t leave much time for other things. My son, Enrique, started first grade this year. This only means he demands more time; it takes about an extra hour a day to help him with his homework. Kinder was a lot easier. Zidtzi, my little girl, is very hyperactive and wants to be with mommy all the time; this means doing homework includes maneuvering her on one side. I don’t regret going back to school I actually enjoy learning and being out side of my comfort zone. I know this is not normal, but I guess I’m not normal. The only thing about going back to school that I don’t like is that I don’t spend all the time I used to with my babies, and as we move in the semester everything seems to pile up. The good thing is that I am not taking everything I’m learning for granted. Back when I recently graduated from High School I attempted to start college, and fail because I didn’t appreciate the opportunity. My expectancies of school are not being fulfilled but I’m getting a lot more in return. There for, is not fun and exciting but is a great learning experience. I’m learning how to manage my time effectively and patience is definitely going to be one of my mayor qualities.
