Going to College

   I am a 29 year old mother of 3. I worked at Wal-Mart for 6 years and was fired while pregnant with my third. Reason for termination? "Inability to perform job". The manager thought that I didn't work fast enough and was angry because I wouldn't carry huge boxes up a ladder that reached the ceiling (I was an overnight stocker).
   After I had my child, I looked for another job with no luck. After about a year I thought "why am I looking for a job? I need a stable career." Then I thought "I'm too old to go to school. By the time I'm done, I'll be around 31 years old!"
   What finally convinced me to enroll in school was my kids. I want to be able to give them everything they want and need. My children are my motivation to succeed and succeeding I am.
  For those of you contemplating going to college, I say do it. Make a better life for you and your family...It's worth it!!!
