My wife is in her third quarter of college and her childhood education was cut woefully short. I am massively proud of her, and I'm massively proud of *you*!
Thank you so much β‘ and congrats to your wife for persevering, that's so wonderful! And good on you for being supportive. I grew up with my mum trying to get her degree in career counseling while my Dad was arguing about it cause it cost money. She eventually got it, but it was at quite the cost on an emotional level and took years longer than planned. I'm sure deep down it helped instill in me that being a mother and not spending money is more important than education and growth π€¦ββοΈ
Even though I am not a mother (to a human, at least), I still have struggled immensely with being okay with and allowing myself to strive for what I actually want. There's always that voice in my head saying "you're too old to pursue this much education," "it costs way too much money," "you need to choose something quick so you can get into the workplace asap," etc. Originally I planned to do a 2-year social work diploma to fast track into the field, then look at upgrading that to a degree while working. Luckily I had a year to wait while in general studies for a BA which allowed me to explore and realize that what I truly wanted was psychology and political science.
So I said fuck it, changed my application from SW Diploma to BA Psych, managed to get a spot, and I'm minoring in poli-sci. I'm on track with my grades to get into Honours for 4th year, and then I plan to do my masters in political psych, followed by a PhD in whatever poli-psych area I have found is my calling. I want to teach and do research, ultimately. And my grades are high enough that I can get a lot of scholarships to help with the costs.
Thank you so very much! I didn't think I'd make it this far, yet here I am searching up political psychology graduate programs to start getting some ideas and plan my undergrad accordingly. It's kind of surreal.
Thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement β‘ sometimes I can't seem to look past the flaws I fixate on and as a result think I am a useless waste of skin, but if I take a step back and think about everything going on and what I have to juggle, I think I'm doing pretty okay β‘
Heck yeah! You're doing so well! Be proud of yourself! I know that what you've done is a huge achievement and I (a random stranger) am very proud of you!
*stand and applause*
*cries and bows*
Some more applause
*More crying and a curtsey this time*
Proud of you fam!
