Mary this is a great quote for me today. I am contemplating returning to school. The risks are scary but if I do not try what will the benefits be?

Linda, I have considered returning to school as well. For now we have 3 trips coming up this year for various family things and so I feel it's best put on hold until I get through that, but then I will consider the possibility again.
