Dealing with the ups and downs in life

I have dealt with many ups and downs in life getting divorced, being homeless, and moving back in with my parents at age 42.  I know that these things have only given me strength to succeed with my education so I can provide for my children and myself.  I lived in Arizona for 13 years and did not see my mom and dad much so it is nice to see them everyday.  I was away from FL for so long and now I get to see my family on a regular basis and family is important to me.  I know we all have had things to deal with throughout life and it is all how we look at a situation and what we can do to change the situation.  I know when I have a degree in hand I will be very proud of my accomplishments.  I look forward to reading my classmates blogs and getting to know them.

  1. Hello Sonya! I know what it is like to have to start over. Luckily I am 23 and realized I need to make a change for the better. I divorced my husband while I was 6 months pregnant with our child and moved from my home in PA to FL with my parents. It can be crazy. I can honestly say that I have learned so much about myself when I hit rock bottom. There is only way to go and that is up. You go girl! :)
