Almost done with school :)

I am attending school for Medical Assisting and have been for some time now, I am at the tail end of my journey and couldn't be happier. I worked and went to school this summer which was not easy with two kids but I managed to keep a 3.7 GPA. I took my classes online thinking it would be easier and knowing I couldn't afford to put the girls in day care and go to school full time. I figured online classes would be easier but boy was I wrong. They cram a lot of work into a week. My test were timed to make sure you weren't looking up answers which was OK because that means I was actually learning what we were going over. Another problem I ran into was finding a spot to do my clinical work. I live in Maine and the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away and the next after that is an almost an hour. I did manage to secure a site and I will start my externship on Feb 1st. Chris's dads wife and my mom will be watching the girls for me where I wont be making any money during this process. I am excited but a little nervous as well. I am going to have to do a lot of driving to drop the girls off and go to work but it will all pay off in the end. I can't believe I am finally almost done! 2 months of  pure exhaustion and it will be over then I can take my test and become a certified MA. One of the major reasons I am doing this is for my girls, I want to provide more for them as well as set a good example. I never really thought of doing it for myself because I would have given up too easily. Now that I am at the end I realize that I did do this for myself as well.
