back to school again after 8 years!!

That is wonderful! Good for you for doing something to better yourself. I miss being in college. Although I never liked a set schedule, I loved learning the things I took in my classes. What are you studying right now? I'm sure you're showing all the younger students who the smart one really is! (You!)

Try going back after 30 years, that is fun...Of course I am taking my classes online, and so I have flexibility for my courses and I love it...:)

I can only imagine the rather surreal feeling that is going back to school after being gone for a long time. Of course, perhaps one day, I may return but after getting my graduate degree, I was kind of burned out with the entire educational process. It just really was something that I needed a bit of a break with to say the very least. Of course, we are always learning even if we aren't in school. So going back to school actually is not going to be something that is going to be too much of a step. Even if that first step might seem to be a rather doozy more often than not. It does take some time to get back into the swing of things but when we do(some of us longer than others I'd imagine), it is back to the races.

I'm so happy for you. I'm glad that you are enjoying your schooling. I too will be in a similar boat as you. It's been six years since I've been out of school. It's crazy how time flys by. I'm hoping that in the fall I will be able to start taking classes. I would like to get started, focus and get it done. Since it's already been so long. But I've got to save up since gas is going to be so high and I've got to travel about an hour and 15 minutes to do lab work once a week.

There is no age limit when it comes to education. It is a privileged for us to be educated. I congratulate you to be back to school again. Don't worry because you will be getting used to it. I hope you will be successful of the course you have taken.

That's good for you mikaela, it's indeed a wonderful gift from above for going to school again. Grab that opportunity for there are so many out of school youth today who really wanted to be in your shoes. Remember that every learning is an opportunity to grow and succeed in life. Never to be discourage when you encounter difficulties for they are there to keep us strong and firm. Good luck and more power to you!

Hi, it's nice to be back to school. Learning new things will certainly make our brand exercise. This will allow it to be refreshing itself and make it work better. Your forgetfulness will decrease as you try to learn something. School is an ideal place for that.

I commend you for going back to school. I am also doing an online graduate school program and will finish my Masters in April then I will go on and get a second Masters in Special Education. With the economy being in a bad state right now I figure that the more educated I am the better my chances of getting a job. I am glad that you are learning a new skill and that it will help you find work.

I will be going back to school after graduating 10 years ago. I am nervous but I know with the Lords help I can do it! I have faith that I will do just fine. I am sure you will do very well also. I am going back to better myself and my family so I know it will work out. I am pretty darn determined to make it.

That's wonderful. I'm glad that you are enjoying school. I loved going. I went for 3 years but didn't graduate. My car became unfixable and I had no way to get to school so I left. I enjoyed every minute I was there though.

Wow! Good luck with your journey..

Nervousness is always there at first but eventually gone later on and replace by excitement.Just always study well, always give your best and enjoy.

U MUST....U ARE STILL YOUNG ,SO MAKE UR EDUCATION PUSH THRU,THATS UR LIFE IN THE FUTURE..PREPARE UR LIFE TO A NEW AND WONDERFUL FUTURE U EVER WANT THRU EDUCATION...education is a must....

Its nice that you are now back in school. Your lucky enough because there are so many who wants to study again yet its impossible because of financial constraints and lack of time. I know that its a little awkward mingling with younger people today but I'm pretty sure that some of them are interested in knowing you. I hope that you find time talking to your younger classmates. Some of them are hungry for information about life after college. Hope that you enjoy every moment of it. Indeed, there's no limit for education. Only a fool wil say that its too late for an old man to be educated at school.

It's really exciting even if it just a short course. I have this same feeling of excitement when I enrolled myself for a month seminar and training. have a good day

yes friend i understand what you are feeling at present time when you visit your school after 8 years .when we again feel that things in which we were connected in our past we feel some different type of feelings and great thoughts of that time and this is also happen to me when i meet my child hood friends.

No worries. You will do just fine since you are enthusiastic about learning. Each class is unique. So every student is having many fears and questions just like you. It does not matter how old they are. Once you meet them, you will find out how shy they are in the class.

congrats because you're into new learning now..me too..after 4 years, i'm studying again..both short course and an associate one..kinda hard also since my classmates are in their teen years..but it's kinda challenging for me..because i have to study hard so that i won't be left behind with their topics.. good luck to us..and for our new learning..

wow..that would be nice..feels like u got young again..or remind of everything that happen in the past

first of all, congratulations! I think that it's never too late for education so go for it. I hope you don't get a hard time adjusting to the people around you. Just do what you need to do and enjoy! :)
