Do you think we have different times in our lives?
One when we are active: working, raising children president of an organization, chair of a committee, member of church group or PTA... board member of a senior center....knitting group, card club or?
Do we become more family centered, babysitters?
As we age, what do we do differently? What do we do for ourselves!
I went back to college. What! :My husband asked me “Why?”
“I am going!”
I told him that I wanted to study myself👵🏻And earned a Master’s in Gerontology.
The $$$$!!! Said my husband. I said
“I AM GOING.”I received a grant.. one designed for seniors returning to school!
The director of the Gerontology Dept. had special grants for SENIORS!!
The program was multi-generational.
This program changed my life!
Addendum: while I was perusing the bulletin board at that
College, a professor in the counseling program asked me to consider his program!
Seniors, there are programs that many of us do know
Keep your eyes open!
What have you always wanted to do?
Do it!
@helenfrances I am so proud of you. What an accomplishment!! You must be very intelligent. I went back to school in my 40's, but only got my Certified Medical Assistant Degree. It was for only 9 months. Since I like animals so much I wish I had gone for an Animal assistant. But really you are amazing! Glad you didn't listen to your husband. Mine likes control my life sometimes. He's been very protective, since I'm up for surgery that I will get the Covid-19. Bless you for what you did and I hope you are very proud of yourself. My thoughts are with you as you continue to study. Jeanie
