Junior has been encouraging me to go back to school.  He sat down a couple of weeks ago with his boss at work and found out all about his company's tuition reimbursement program, which not only covers him but me and the kids as well.  The only drawback is that we would have to pay up front, and depending on my grades, we would get money back from the company.  Unfortunately, we don't have the money for me to do this right now. 

I would also have the option of going to school online, which would be perfect for me.  I have seriously been considering teaching.  I want to work with little kids, maybe teach kindergarten.  I found this program at USC that allows women like me to take classes online, and then do field work close to home.  This program is great for students who have already taken the basic courses, because it can then be completed in as little as 12 months.  They also offer tuition reimbursements and scholarships, which is perfect for me.  I also think I would be able to qualify for some grants, being as I'm a working mom. 

I have been reading their student blogs, which give an inside look at the program.  It's nice to hear from people who are in the program to find out the pros and cons.  There is a lot of program information to go through, and reading first hand experiences can help shed some light on the important stuff. 

I have a lot to think about, and I may restart my higher education by looking into how many of the credits from my first college experience 20 years ago can be transferred to the local community college, and then take the basic classes there.  Then hopefully one day soon I can apply for this awesome program at USC.
