College at forty-six years old.

Well I took a leap of faith, or stupidity some might say and signed up for college. I was accepted at a very prestigious college however these colleges often do not bare into their factors that one might not want to end up with owing loads of money. It appears that they are oblivious to the fact that one has to eat and survive four years and then at the end if you took out their massive loans you would be paying it back beyond your life time. So I went to a local

college. I felt out of place in a world of hustle and bustle of young people, but I sucked it up and went on my first day. Parking was absolutely awful and I had to ask a young man to park my car. I have found that balancing my life is a huge balancing act. Some of the young people in my class appear to talk more than take it seriously. My life is ticking by and I am running this race asking God to direct me and open up doors for me. As I sit here I have to type up another essay today for one of my classes. To the many who venture to get a degree at an older age I encourage you not to think of yourself as a disadvantage more that you are more mature and perhaps value life more. More that you have something amazing to give the world. I might be forty six but that is just a number and does not reflect what I as a person can give to this world and neither should your age. So go for whatever dreams you have and fly high. Pleas have a cup of tea with me today.
