Hi yall,

My name is Lucille Auslander, and I am from a tiny town in NY called Altmar. I am 19. (soon to be 20) I have a beautiful baby girl named Rebekah. She just turned 7 months old. She is my everything. I also have the most wonderful husband in the world, named Jonathan. We met in highschool, and started dating my senior year. (hes 23) We ended up attending the same college. I attended for Vet Tech, and him for Criminal Justice. I ended up dropping out of college because It was not the right one for me. So I applied for a job over the internet at a call center for sirius radio. I got the job! So I packed up my stuff, and said good bye to my dear (then boyfriend) jonathan. I worked there for three months before jonathan left college, and also got a job at stream. (call center) We then got a tiny apartment and moved in together. Well, seven months later, I end up finding out that we were pregnant. At first I was shocked, and scared, and that my whole world was crashing down around me and my dreams would be left amongst the rubble. But I decided to not wallow in self pity, I decided to do something about my predicament, and better myself. I tried out a couple of different schools and just couldnt find the right fit. I was actually just taking a class at Ashford University online. Although I got a 98 in the class, I dont believe the school is right for me. It would cause me to take out massive student loans, that I dont have the money to pay for. So thats when I came across Ashworth. I am currently enrolled in the Wildlife and Forestry Career Diploma. I love how flexible the schedule is. I never have to worry about having an assignment in on time.
Now my daughter is 7 months old, and she is so beautiful. I never knew what it was like to be a mother until I had my own. Now she comes first before anything else. However, An above poster mentioned that having children is not the end of the world, and I agree. I am working toward my diploma, and eventually an associates degree. She is quite the motivation for returning to school.

I hope everyone does well in their studies,

Lucille.

hey everyone.

My name is Jessica and I am almost 19 years old. I have graduated Highschool in 2009 and now wanting to take Medical and Dental Assisting here at Ashworth College. I am pregnant with a little girl who is due March 20, 2010. The love for this girl is so unreal even though I haven't even met her yet. I was also married August 15, 2009 to the male version of the love of my life. haha.

But I want to be able to give my daughter a wonderful childhood and life, so I want to get a good paying career and give her what she needs and some things that she wants. So that's why I have chosen Ashworth College. So when she is born, I will be able to be here at home taking care of her and earning my degree.

Hi my name is Stacy, I live out in the cold state of Wisconsin. I am a proud stay at home mom of 5 beautiful children. I have 3 girls 10, 7, and 2 I also have 2 sons ages 9 and 5. I am kept very busy with them. In 1999 one month before my highschool graduation date, my guidance counselor pulled me into his office and said I was a credit short for my diploma. I asked in what he said that was the thing I had all my required credits, it was a elective. I followed the schedule and suggestions like I was suppose to for 4 yrs. Of course my oldest was then born in 2000, so my diploma got put off for 10 yrs now. A few months back I got a letter from ashworth showing me the payment plan and the ability to do it online. Well that was my kicker to go back, and here I am at 29 yrs old doing my last yr of high school over again. You know when you say you wish you could go back lol, well I am.

Just today actually when I started some school work, my 2 yr old daughter Trinity came out of my room asking for paper and pen. I gave her them and she left, 20 mins later I heard her and went to check on her. Here she was sitting on my floor with a purse that was matching mommys book bag. She was putting her homework, as she said, in her bag. She sat with me for 45 mins while I studied and she drew, asking me "mommy how your homework." I almost started to cry, it was so cute. My 10 yr old daughter Theresa came home from school rite after I enrolled, saying "Mom I told my teacher my mom was going back to school!!" My kids and my husband have been awesome during this, and very supportive. I could have asked for a better team. After my high school diploma is complete I am enrolling in Ashworths Medical Transcription program to help me with a income, education, to help others and to go onto nursing school. I want to take all I can learn and use that to help a person that is sick or lonely or even deliver a baby. I cant wait.

thank you for reading this. if you would like to reply great. I would love to find other parents that are going to school with kids, just someone who understands lol.
