Where's my Neverland?

So painting with my sister was fun, but lots harder than I thought. I've never painted before.

The girls night was great. It was nice to see cousins that I rarely get to see. There were seven babies under 2 there, and a whole bunch more that were from ages 3-12. Probably around 15 kids. It was SO crazy. I held one of my cousins twins, then Keri's baby Aiden, and I'm definately ok with not having kids right now. I talked to a lot more people than I thought I would which was a nice relief.

Ok So about the Veterinary Technology thing. I'm so lost right now. I don't know what to do. We went to the appointment and I love the school and the program sounds great, but it's SOO expensive. We could get all or most of it covered with scholarships and financial aide and probably student loans, but...I just don't know what to do. Martin is being really supportive and willing to help me through it and is willing for us to pay the costs and everything. When we walked out of the school after our appointment, he asked me what I thought, I didn't answer but asked him what he thought and he said he was ready to sign up himself. I thought that was pretty funny. I just don't know if it's what I REALLY want to do, enough to spend the money and the time doing, when I could finish dental assisting, or go to Weber State University for lots cheaper, but if I'm not going to be happy doing the other things. UGH it's just so frustrating. When did I grow up and have to make these type of decisions?

I think you should go ahead with the college. You enjoy working with animals, most of you time would be doing so. As dental assistant you need to interact with people a lot more. I am thinking if this would have been the right choice, why is it taking you such a long time to get it finished. So I think if Martin is willing to support you and he does know you now for a couple of years, it is worth to take a chance. Life is all about taking chances. Look at Martin, he took the chance and moved to America. If he can do it, so can you. Think about, but not too long. Sign up, at least a decision is made and you can start focus on this course. Keep us updated.

I know it's easy to say, but really, going in to debt for education is more of an investment than debt. (That's what my husband has taught me since we're going to be SO in debt next year with med school!) As long as you're sure you really want to do it and stick it out so it's not money wasted. Good luck. These decisions are the hardest but most rewarding in the end.

You will have plenty of time to pay it off, and its not something that you have to worry about while in school. So that is a plus! I know what you mean, Stevens Henager like the Career College is so expensive, but at the time that was basically our only option. We choose it and we are sticking with it. It is stressful to think of the tens of thousands that we will have to pay off in loans, but semi-hopeful with the tens to hundreds of thousands he she be making when he is all finished!
You are great with animals, weigh your options if this is your best choice, I say go for it!
