Going Back to School

So I am planning on going back to school next fall to study film.  I found a great blog today about adults going back to school.  I think I am going to fit in just fine when I go back.  I will be 30 when I start, but many people don't believe I am that old.  I had a guy in my class the other night ask me how old I was.  He thought I was like 23.  Anyway, I think this is great!

"Then there are those who go back to college simply because they are tired of what they’re doing. They want to do something else with their lives. Maybe they have been at a particular job for a long time and there’s just no more challenge to it. By going back to college and learning something new it is like starting life all over again. This is a great way to put the fun back into your life. Many people have misconceptions of how they will be looked at for going back to school so late in life. They think people will look at them as losers who have to do this because they’re uneducated and need to go back in order to get a decent job. The truth is, people who go back to school late in life are actually looked upon with great respect. Many young students who see an older person in a classroom are impressed by the person being able to continue their education at this stage in their life. There are of course sacrifices that have to be made. Going back to college means you’re going to have less time to devote to your family and friends. It is going to mean countless nights of studying and hard work. Learning is not as easy when you’re older. The challenges are great. But the rewards are just as great, knowing that you’ve accomplished something like this when most people wouldn’t even attempt it. Plus, going back to school will simply make you feel better about yourself as a person and will give your children a positive outlook on education itself. After all, if Mom or Dad can do it so can they."
