I moved away once because my wife went to Oklahoma. I moved to Oklahoma twice and at that time my wife and I split up and I moved down there to be with my kids, and that interrupted some testing for my diploma. |
It's all worth it. My confidence will pick me up, but maybe the way I fill out applications or going for a job people will say, 'He's trying,' and look at me a little differently. |
My wife's been gone a year, but I felt like this is something I needed to do. I have been pretty successful without a diploma, but I feel like as far as confidence and uplifting myself, I think this has really helped. |
People here know that I don't get intimidated easily. I think the only thing I was worried about was failing because so many things have happened the last three to four years of my life. |
They know all my frustrations, especially my oldest. My youngest has always been on my hip and he has taken up with his daddy his whole life, except when I was apart from him. During a seven-month span, he didn't see me at all. The good Lord brought him back to me, and we picked up where we left off. |
