I was nervous because I have two young children who are also homeschooled and I wasn’t sure if I could juggle mom life + homeschool life + remote learning for the year and a half it would take me to complete the degree, but I’m doing it!! The program has changed my life in ways I never even imagined. Set to graduate in May 🥲🎓

I was supposed to graduate in 2021, but I was having a *horrible* time for a multitude of reasons. I finally made the call around April to quit for the year and try again in the fall. At the time I felt like a total failure, but now I’m so happy I did that!!! I got to have my studio in-person because restrictions had lifted, I used the extra mental bandwidth to do some soul-searching and find myself, and I ended up with a project that I was passionate about and put my whole heart into! Truly one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself

I went back to school in 2020 to persue a career in a field I’ve wanted to be in for prob 2 decades. I went to college right out of high school but it didn’t work for me at that time, I got terrible grades and gave up despite being a high achieving straight A student before.
I just finished my program and graduated in May and started a new job at a big name firm and to say I’m a little spooked is accurate. Not finishing my degree all those years ago was a source of shame for me and I’m finding myself putting a lot of pressure on myself because the accomplishment is so personally significant.
The learning curve of a new job is always steep and feels like you’re flailing a bit, and I can only believe that new career will be that same feeling, amplified. Trying to feel confident, trust that I am in fact capable, and not like I’m about to be found out. 🫠
Go for it! The scary parts are required! Personal growing pains mean you're trying and expanding.

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol
Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32!
Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
