Do you think that a young mother can still accomplish her goal of going to college even though she has her child?

Yes you definitely can. I did my masters when i was pregnant. It was a little easier than having a child. But if you have someone to take care of your child when you are in college whom you trust and who will take full responsibility of your child you can do anything you want dear. sky is the limit. You will not only accomplish your college but also your higher education too. Just have a determination and stick to it. You might have to make extra efforts, burn a few midnight lamps but you definitely can achieve this.

I quick college after finishing 2 years to get married. I had 2 kids, life went on, time passed. When I was 38 I decided I wanted to go back to school to finish my bachelor's degree. My kids were grown up and it was a good time to do it. I won't say it was easy. Going to school when you are older and have to keep working makes it hard but you can do it! I even have a younger friend with 2 young children at home who is almost finished with her degree to become a teacher. So I know it can be done! If you are determined and want it bad enough, you can do it! Good luck!

of course you can accomplish your goal even if you have already a child. HAving a child is never a hindrance to any success or achieving goals. Instead your child will be the inspiration in order for you to achieve it. It doesn't mean when you have a child you stop dreaming, of course not, your child is a blessing and when it came its like your just adding an inspiration in your life.

I do believe that, if she is determined enough. Things can be hard, crushing, and are too easy to make you want to give up on your dreams sometimes, but I believe that if one works hard enough they can make it happen. At least, in most cases. I know there are some circumstances that just cannot be helped.

Yes it can be done. It might take a litte longer but if it is something you want, the you can do it. My sister just graduated in May this year and she did about 95% of her degree online. She only had to go to a few classes. It was great. It took her two and a half years but she now has her degree. You can do it.

why not? maybe not immediately because you'd be awfully busy with the kid but it isn't impossible. if you really want to finish college then there's no stopping you. sometimes some mothers say they weren't able to finish college because of the baby but maybe the case is that they didn't have any more interest in finishing college because of the baby.

Yes of course. The child can be taken care of by others while the mother is away and going to college is not too time consuming. Here in the Philippines, sometimes only 3 to 4 hours are spent in school, the study your lessons when the child is asleep or while you are taking care of him/her. It depends upon the young mother if she really wants to go to college and if so, the child is not so much a problem.
