Most moms would automatically answer the question "Are you the role model for your children?" with a resounding yes! In many ways you probably are indeed a great role model, but what about when it comes to education? Are you setting the example that education is a top priority in life? Are you telling your children how important continued education is? Wouldn't it be much more powerful if you were SHOWING them?
Being mom is a full time job all by itself, of this there is no doubt! However, in order to show your children how serious you are about education, you need to put your own back on the priority list! Like most moms time and finances are major obstacles to earning their own degrees. What if I told you that you can overcome both of those obstacles right now? Would you change your mind about going back to school?
Let's first tackle the time obstacle. Finding the time to commute to classes can seem impossible. Who would watch the children while you were gone? When would you have time to study or do homework? These are all very valid concerns. However, the world is changing! Technology has found numerous ways to make life easier for people in many aspects of our lives. Education is one of them! You can now earn your degree from the comfort of your living room! You never have to leave the house! Online degrees are increasingly more common and moms all over the planet are taking advantage of this convenience!
You can choose the time of day you do your coursework, it may be in the morning before everyone gets moving, or at night after everyone else has gone off to bed. The choice is yours! No more commuting, no more time obstacle!
The financial obstacle is next! The answer here is scholarships! There are literally thousands of dollars out there right now waiting to pay your way through school! They even cover online degree programs! There are scholarships online that you can apply/register for that are actually specifically for moms! You can apply for as many as you like and some even help with family expenses. I know many moms that have paid for their entire education using nothing but scholarships, it can be done! It takes determination and a willingness to keep applying and registering for as many scholarships as you can find!
Don't wait another moment! Be the role model your children need today! Show them the importance of a degree by getting one yourself!
