I have been having the hardest time keeping up with my school work this semester, I have dropped 3 out of 6 of my classes. I just had a baby in February so I knew I couldn't have a normal going to school life this semester. So I took classes online and I can't seem to keep up with anything, I think I should have just taken this semester off but I wanted to try to get some "easy" classes over with well it turns out the classes I picked were not as easy as I first thought they were. Have 3 kids living alone and going to school online does not work for me and I will not do it again.

Right now I take all my classes online. When I go back to school in the fall my mom will watch my two little ones while my oldest is in school.

It can be horrible when your work gets on top of you, but the most important thing that you have to remember is that the only thing that you can do is your best, and nobody can expect anything more of you than that. With a baby, time management is absolutely essential. You should try and get a couple of hours each day when your baby is going to be sleeping so that you can get your work done, and you should find that this kind of plan would help you to fit the work in when you wouldn't have been able to do so before.

Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew. This happens to me all the time with ‘little’ projects I start that turn out to be huge ones. Raising children is a huge task. So is going to school. Cut your self some slack and do what you can is all anyone can do, I think.

Hello there stacilyn8812. I have this classmate who is on her 30s and she has 5 kids. She still manages to have a good academic performance, in fact she is one of the top students of our batch. My advice to you is that you should continue your education. It is better to have finished school in the long run for it is a major factor in acquiring a job. Use your kids as motivations. Find strength in them. Furthermore, learn to balance school and family. I know it is hard, but hard work pays. Always remember that the fruits of hard work are always sweet. Don't stop believing in yourself and what you are capable of. Keep pushing yourself through the limits. I hope that helped you in some way. May God bless you always.
