Hello everyone, I am really disliking this course. I do not like research paper let alone having to try and a 5 to 8 page paper while having a full time job, practically being a single parent, and two class which both require writing assignment. I barely have time to do one course and trying to stay a float in this class is really stressing me out. I am hoping to get some of my writing done this weekend and hopefully have some feedback. I will try my best this week to get some work done for this class.
I have been feeling so overwhelm with everyday life, I do wonder if its the same for everyone else. How does a single mother cope? Will I ever feel complete relief? I am left to my questions which ironically, I have no time to answer.
Hi Pamela,
ReplyDeleteI can certainly relate to being a single parent (not practically, but really), for I was a single parent of five children. When I attended graduate classes, I worked a 40+ hr/week job and sometimes a part-time second job just to support my family. I could take only two classes at a time, so it took me longer than most graduate students to complete my M.A. degree. Since my degree was in Writing, I was constantly doing research and writing, often with no or very little sleep. Honestly, I cannot tell you how I survived, but I know I did. Also, my aging parents were becoming seriously debilitated and entered nursing home care during this time in another state, and I had to oversee all their financial affairs and try to make the 6 hour drive to see them at least once a month.
All I can say is that I made it. It is all a blur now. The way you get through it is ONE DAY AT A TIME, one assignment at a time. It is worth it. Just keep telling yourself, it is worth it!
