My family thinks I'm "deployed" to school during this summer semester since I'm gone so much. The second block of the semester has been the hardest because I'm taking 9 credits. I actually had to take time off from work to catch up on my various assignments. I also needed to take care of various things around the house. I take care of my own lawn and vehicle maintenance to save money.
The first 3 days of the week I'm in school from 8 am to around 8 pm. Thursday mornings I'm at work and I go straight to the math lab after. Typically on Fridays I spend the entire day at the Veterans Upward Bound Center. Unfortunately, the last couple of Saturdays I have been studying at my sister's house.
My family is having a hard time with me being gone so much. My oldest daughter was crying the other weekend. She was sad I was leaving to study again. I tried to explain to her I was studying so hard so I could get a better job. She was still sad because she thinks my next job would take me away a lot. I can only hope the sacrifice I'm making now will pay off in the future.
