For you it was a different story...

College wasn't an option for you when you got your H.S. Diploma or G.E.D. There were other things in your life that dfemanded your time, and the options weren't as diverse as they are now.

So you are going back to college. If this scares you, don't worry. There are MANY colleges out there that have established programs specifically gearded to the Adult reeturning student.

There are weekend programs, evening programs, Senior Citizen programs and Distance Learning programs. To find out the school that has a program that is right for you, do some research.

Ask schools about distance learning programs which will allow you do "tele-learn" from home. This web-site has more about distance learning programs

You will usually find that classes that are taught in the evening are filled with more "Non-tradtional" students. If you like to interact with the professor this may be the way to go. During day classes, you will find a lot more of the "traditional" students. There are some students who will be greatful to have you as a class mate. You will be the brave one to ask for clarification or to provide a little chalenge every now and then. Remember that your experiences in life have shown you things that these 19 year olds have not even dreamt about yet. Enjoy your moments.
