Tweets that inspired my twitterive

Accomplishment or Failure, what is my destiny?
When I started to put together ideas for my twitterive I had an entirely different direction in mind. As I started to read my tweets I realized that many of my tweets seemed to be going subconsciously in a general direction that I have been struggling with lately. Am I making the right choice for me and my family to continue with school? I started school in my early twenties and took a semester off to get married. It took me fifteen years to find my way back to school. My husband was in a nearly fatal accident and I realized that had he not survived I would not have been able to support my children. As a result of a benign brain tumor he had removed several years prior, he was unable to get life insurance. I was a stay at home mom and had not worked in nearly seven years.

This was a real wake up call for me. I needed to decide on what career path I should take so that I could support my kids without working multiple jobs, and still be able to be there for the important things in life. I decided to see if my credits were still good and much to my surprise, they were. In September of 2007 I returned to Camden County College. I started by taking two classes while my youngest daughter went to Kindergarten. I graduated with my Associates Degree in May of 2010 and transferred to Rowan University. Around the same time I began working as an office manager for a busy medical practice. I work three days, go to school two days, and do my homework in the evenings and on weekends. Recently I have been feeling very discouraged. I feel like I will never finish school and all I can see is the mountain of debt I am acquiring. What's worse is I am not even sure I will be able to get a job when I am done school. My one friend works for Pine Hill school district and she told me that they had one first grade teaching position available and received 750 resumes, of which they interviewed only 30 of the applicants. I hate missing things that my kids are doing because I am too busy with school work. I feel stressed and tired all of the time and I am really wondering if all of this is worth it in the long run. I want to give my kids the best of me, not what is left over after I give everyone else everything I have. I would hate to quit now when I am so close to being done, but I really feel uninspired lately.
