Am I Too Old?

[Anonymous]

I just started school again and I am 23, but I only had a semester done when I got pregnant, so I don't have very many credits as it is. What I really want to be is a teacher.. but I am worried that between children and work.. I will only be able to take on so many credits at a time. I'm afraid that it will take me a decade to get a Master's degree.

I want to do this.. but I keep talking myself out of it because I feel like it's too late.

Do you think I am too old to go back to school for education?

It might take you that long, yes.  But if you want it badly enough, you'll do it.  The real question is how much do you want it?

lol I don't think you're too old at all. That's almost offensive

Lol.. I know I'm not OLD old. I just keep feeling like it's too late.  I suppose "too old" was not the right wording.

Quoting spastic_poodle:

I don't think anyone is too old for learning. 

It's something you really want to do then do it. Age is nothing but a number.

Pfft girl you are not to old! Sure it may take you longer, but at least you are moving toward your goal! I've seen men and women in their 40s+ in some of my classes. You may be older than most in your classes, but so what? :) good luck!
