That is great you have your mom to help out. I am teaching myself theory at home. I have three in school and one at home during the day. Most of my time to practice is nap time and in the evenings. I am enjoying learning even though I am starting later in life:). You can check out startran at www.startran.com. I purchased a used machine on ebay. It ended up being a great deal. Best of luck to you and hope to hear on how you are doing.
Just wanted to say welcome Angelia! I am older too (39.5) and am just learning theory. I have four children as well and know what it is like to be busy with family. Looks like you have a few older ones. Hopefully they can help you out with the baby so you can get your study time in. You sound like you are willing to work hard toward your goal and I am sure you will make it!
Hi and congratulations on your new baby! I have a family, full time job and go to school full time in the evenings. I just finished Theory II last night. I think if you truly want something we all find a way. Sometimes, I am so exhausted and want to drive straight home instead of going to school, but then I think to myself, if I can just get through this it will only be one job and more time with my family. I have to be honest that I do think about the money, as well, but just being happy and feeling accomplished would give me so much more happiness!
I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see you post your progress!
Angelia,
when I was in school, I used to do country
western dancing every wednesday and friday
evening. when I told them I was studying to
be a court reporter, people would see dollar
signs in their eyes!! Everyone's first comment
was: Oh, you're going to make a lot of money!!
but trust me, you will earn every dollar!
but it is very cool to be able to do what we
do!!
:)) keep at it!!
