"Experiences Every Student-Parent Will Have While Balancing Classes And Family"
This
week and last week’s blog postings have been more geared toward on how we as
young working mothers, balance motherhood and school. Whether you are just
beginning college, are in grad school or are in post grad school, all mothers’
need reassurance and inspiration from other mother’s. It’s not an easy journey
as a young mother, I can tell you from experience. You may want to give up and

boy, do I have those bad days. BUT, all in all, I can tell you as I have many
times before, after telling myself for years, day after day, it’s all worth it
in the end! Trust me. This is one thing in life that you will NOT regret. This

9) THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY DONE AND CLEARED TO GRADUATE:
