Title: anyone that knows me
Post by: cherie on May 17, 2010, 07:49:07 am
I just wanted to say that if anyone that knows me also knows that I am a college student.  I had taken four classes this semester, and guess what?  I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE 4 A'S THIS SEMESTER!!  I did not think I was going to do it, but with the help of my neighbor watching Scotty 3 days of the week, I was able to study harder and get things done.  Thanks for the support all!! :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Great job, Cherie!  I know you have a busy life and it is a great accomplishment! :)  Now you can take some well-deserved time off and make some sawdust.  Congratulations! :)

Cheri, I only know you from this forum, but well done I think it is great what you have achieved. By the sounds of it you are not a full time student, so that makes the achievement even greater. Congratulations and enjoy your summer.

Dawie,  I attend Drury University night classes. And the load I have been taking 4 to 5 is full time.  I do not work since my fiance would rather me try and get ahead in life and get the job I really deserve later.  He is an over the road truck driver and supports me in every way possible.  Financially we are not great, but we have a love that cannot be broken.  I have also taken on the job for the past two years of caring for my grand kids, Videl 7 and Scotty 3.  They will be heading back home the first week of June if everything goes according to plan.  Btw, it is great to meet you.  People in the forum make great family members.  GOTTA LOVE EM'.

Bud, I am working on two majors.  One is English and the only thing I have left to finish of that is my senior seminar.  The other, and the reason why I have to live 100 miles away next semester is Design Arts.  Since the local night school through Drury do not cover everything I need, I will be attending the main campus in Springfield MO.  I am gonna be so lost when I get up there.  LOL.

Congartulations!!! I know how hard it is to do all that. My wife works full time nd is going for her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Does most of it online, but we have to go up to St. Augustine Fl almost every other weekend. 4 hour drive each way.
