    As some know, i missed my first opportunity to go to school and get an education. I got my broadcasting degree from a trade school. But my entire life i have wanted to be a teacher. I met with a counselor this morning about Belmont abbey college....and their adult education program. It is 2 nights a week for 16 weeks, 12 credits a semester meaning iam infact a full time student ill grauduate in 3 years and a semester (i finished a semester of credits at wingate university) . It is very affordable, and i can still work full time and go to school. I just sent my essay into the admissions office and filled out my application. Please pray for me......hopefully i can be given another chance to graduate college. School was never important to me when i was younger, i think back and realize i considered myself a athelte-student and not the other way around.

    I hope i can get accepted and fulfill my dream!!!!! Heres hoping for the best :ffic:

    hey good luck man.

    as you know i enrolled myself for a two year degree (for now at least).

    i too didn't think school was important when i was younger and am looking to change that now.

    best of luck, and keep your nose to the grindstone you'll get it done.

    Best of luck to you man, sometimes it takes a while out on your own to get yourself ready to go to college. Waiting a few years can help you stay focused and get better grades than if you're fresh out of high school too:up:

    Absolutely AWESOME news brother Chris.
    I waited till I was almost 30 to take School seriously, and it couldn't have worked out better.
    Keep it important to yourself and you will do just fine.
    Take timeout to enjoy the nuances that go along with it as they will be gone when you are done.
    Take pride in doing things the absolute best you can. Nobody can ask for more than that :up:
    Always remember that you have a great support group in here.

    Once you're done with School and you are teaching always always remember to punish Students that wear Pats, Jests or Bills Jersey's

    Somewhere down the road, some very fortunate students are going to e getting a great teacher :hi5:

    Chris, I think you should punish them for wearing any jersey BUT the Dolphins. Sounds fair to me. :yes: What about you?

    Congrats, man. Hopefully you can manage your time efficiently. Going to school full time along with working a full time job is no walk in the park... But I'm sure you can handle it!
