I've made one of the biggest decisions of my life. I'm 53 and decided to go to college! I want to teach High School History.
This is BIG, HUGE for me. From ages 13-20 I went through concentrated trauma and madness. Lived in survival mode for decades. And now I'm going to do something I never thought possible. I'm going to college!
I am aware that there are many obstacles and headaches that I will have to overcome and there is going to be some major challenges just getting into college (I only have a GED) but, I believe I can overcome those obstacles, heck, I'm excited to win those challenges!!

Thank You, DU people!!!
