HI - I am Ann 38, married 11 years with 2 great girls (9 and 6).

I work p/t as a marker/examiner for research papers and am in the application process for a Phd Program. Unbelievable that I am doing this work and I am not even in yet. I can't wait to be "really" in school.

Hello Newbie here...

my name is Renee, married to my best friend Steve.. we have a blended family of 4 (3 boys and 1 girl)

I am not in school yet.. I will be starting next semester on Jan 12th.. I can't wait til I start.. i'm really looking foward to going back to school!

Hi, I'm Christine from Connecticut. I'm 35 and have been married to my husband for for three years. We just got back from an anniversary cruise to Bermuda, and it was awesome :) I have a fourteen-year-old son who is a freshman in high school (and is now playing football) and two rescue dogs. I've been monitoring the after-school study session for freshman football players on Wednesday afternoons...it's fun!

I completed my BA in Psychology in psychology in 2008. It's been a LONG journey for me as a working mom and student, but I am grateful every day that I had the chance to finish my BA and go on to an advanced degree. So many things in my life fell into place after I had the strength to leave my first (and very unhappy) marriage.

I just finished my fourth class toward my MS in professional counseling. I plan to become an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), primarily focusing on general mental health, but we'll see where my internship takes me. I also work from home full-time as a work/life counselor for an employee assistance company.
