college

[confusedrose]

So I just got an acceptance letter to the college I wanted to go to. (Applied to before I knew I was pregnant) and now my dad has me stressing out. Telling me I can't go cuz my twins are due in September. And I won't have money. He said I should just give up my dreams now. Do u ladies think it would b a bad idea if I still went to college? Just start later in the year? Or should I wait a few years?

My sister in law is 23 with 4 kids!!! She got accepted to a major university in her area and she is now a full time law student! Don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do something!

I was thinking about night classes.

GO TO COLLEGE. Studies show that if you put college off, you may never go back. It will be difficult and extremely tiring but it's possible. You can look into family housing if it's far away from home and you will recieve a good amount of financial assistance because you have two dependants. Just consider taking an easier work load in the beginning until you adjust. Take few classes instead of many and even consider night classes

How dare your father say that.. an education is a wonderful thing and will only make you and your child's life especially even better. Follow your dreams!!

Look into resources. The college may have programs for mothers. Their many programs and things out their to help mommas who want and deserve to be educated. Do not just give up. Just will be harder. But worth it in the long run! You have already been accepted your half way their hun. Best of luck!!

Don't let anyone discourage you from following your dreams! personally i think will be very hard with twins, but if you're willing to focus on you're children and school, then go for it (: I'm 17 and I plan to take online classes at a community college for now. But I'm still going to try my hardest to follow my dreams of being a baker.

Yes girl you can still go to college! I HATE when people act like just because you are having a child, your life is over -.- a baby is a blessing not a curse. Just because you are having your twins, doesn't mean you can't do anything. Stay strong & follow your dreams, good luck(:
