I have a
couple more weeks left of the semester.
Six more classes to go and I will graduate with an English bachelors and
a Writing minor. I never thought that I
would even go back to school ever, no less in my forties. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past
years. I am smarter than I ever gave
myself credit, even though I am ADHD Dyslexic I can get an English degree, (although
forget about the math) and I really love learning. Who would have ever thought that a girl that
hated reading in elementary school would learn to love Classic literature and especially
period British literature? Well I did
and every dollar spent toward college has been worth it. One of the most exciting points about going
to college has been, true to the Rabourn way of doing things, having my
daughter in some of my classes, my husband in many classes, and my son choosing
to sit with his parents in public at college.
Kids at school talk about that family who eats and hangs out together at
college and how strange it must be to go to school with your parents; "Oh
yeah, do you have something you are hiding from your parents?" They’ve said that they went to school to
escape their parents, and here our kids go to classes with us. This is so like our family. My daughter and I enjoyed art classes
together so much that now we are thinking of going to culinary school
together.
