This is my first semester being back in school after taking a 3 year hiatus.  In that time, I got married and have a 2 year old son named Jacob.  Currently, I am working full-time and taking 4 classes.  Thank God for my mother, she watches my son while I go to school and work.  If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be able to persue my goal of earning my bachelor's degree. It's been a hard journey, but it's only the beginning.  I heard someone say that anything worth achieving doesn't come easy.  That way when you get it, you'll appreciate it even more!  I guess that 's why 4 star restaurants don't have drive thrus!
