Should my mother go to college
3 posts back to top |
Posted 3 months ago My mother is a single parent of two. She works 3 times a week. She didn't finish High School and didn't go to college because she had to do her mother duties at the age of 16. Do you think that my mother should go back to school? And then go to college to better our family? I think she can do it, but our family thinks that its too late to go back to school. What do you think? |

| Posted 3 months ago Hi sbrown93, I think it would be great if your mother went back to school to better herself and your family. If she has the opportunity to do so and the desire then she should definitely go for it. Since she does have a family, maybe one class per semester would probably work for her and to stay the course because she will graduate. Tell her to enjoy the experience. Good luck! PS - Keep cheering your mother on with her education. If you're a good student yourself, be an example for her. |

| Posted 3 months ago Hi Sbrown93, I'm a mother of 3, who became a mother at age 19, and had to put my college dreams on hold. I had completed 1 year at a community college in my hometown. I've been taking college course off and on throughout my career and hopefully will be able to obtain a BA degree sometime in the near future. Having some type of college degree is a goal that I must accomplish and it is always on my mind. Especially, now that my middle child, who is 23 years of age, has graduated for Ohio State University college, with a BA degree in Biological Science. My desire to go back to school is even stronger now, at the age 47! So, I believe you are never to old to better yourself. Encourage your mother to pursue her education with pride! Good Luck.

| Posted 3 months ago Age should never detour someone from accomplishing something that they hold true to themselves. Its 2009 and anything about education is possible. If your mom works three times a week she can go to school on the three other days of the week and give herself a day to do homework, housework, and some relaxation. If she really wants to do it she can. And as far as your family goes, ask them if they have ever heard of all the adult programs offered throughout this country. They are for adults. Don't let their negativity stop your mom from doing what she wants. It is never too late to learn. Tell her she should do it. She should definitely do it. She can go online or on campus. She can start at a community college and transfer. She can start taking a few classes just to get use to it and then start a part time or full time schedule. If she thought of it, she can accomplish it. |

| Posted 3 months ago Yes, she should return to school. You and your siblings can be supportive by helping with chores, cooking, etc. while she is at school and/or studying.

| Posted 3 months ago Yes, she should go back to school and it's not too late I just completed my Associate's degree and I am 60 years old and will continue on with my education.It's never too late. I was inspired to go back to school when I saw a 94 yeart old grandmother graduate. Please give her the love and support that she needs! |

| Posted 3 months ago Yes, most definitely.....I am 39 and I returned back to school in March. It is not easy, however I have the courage and know that I will make a difference for me and my family. I have a daughter who is 12 years old and enjoys telling all of her friends that I am in college. I encourage you to encourage your mother to go back to school...
