I met my hubby in college 28 years ago. He graduated and I transferred to a new college in Florida. He had trouble finding a job and joined the military. I thought that I would just finish my degree and join him later but the power of a lonely heart made me place my education on hold.
I married him and joined him on his travels. We relocated every one to two years with his job and my job became mom. We had three beautiful boys and adopted a sweet little girl. Two of my boys were on the Autism Spectrum so my life evolved around juggling the demands of parenthood accompanied by the numerous changes brought to us through the military.
Change is never easy for a child let alone children with Asperger's Syndrome so I became their steady fixture. As my children grew older and became more successful, I felt less needed in their lives. I took a CNA course and found that I loved working with the elderly and the disabled.
I would like to further my career by attending more school in that field, however we have two boys in college right now and another on the brink of it, so financially, I feel obligated to hold off once more. A scholarship would be my "Go back to school pass" that I always promised myself.
Thank you.
