"Educated"

What education means to me is basically a way for me to become independent again. I have spent 6 years at home with my kids and now it is time for me to go back to school and finish my education. I know it is going to be hard and I am not going to get all the answers right but I will do my best all the time and that is what counts. I need to go back to school mainly because my husband will be retiring from the Navy in 4 years and it will be my turn to support the family while he goes to school or makes a career change.

My rolemodel right now is my sister, she is going back to school for nursing and she will be done with her A.A. in January 2011. She is working full time as a deputy sherriff and taking a full course load of classes online. She says that it is tough but she has a goal and she does not want to be a cop forever. She wants to get into the medical field for security and and because the pay is better. Those reasons are the reasons why I want to become an x-ray technician.
