Hi everyone! Saw the announcement and immediately ran here.

My question is this: do any of you have any goals that you've been actively working on?

For me, I've been trying to work on my GED that I abandoned a decade ago. Signed up for courses and everything.

Another thing I am trying to learn is more about Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and how that can help me learn how to cope with stress.

Finally, I have major ADHD so I've been trying to do note-taking in my day to day life. Started journaling, taking notes on Youtube videos I watch that I think are important for me to remember, habit tracking, so forth.

How about you? What are you trying to do to better yourself?

I just graduated from nursing school at age 35 a few weeks ago! I say this not to toot my own horn, but to motivate others that you can absolutely change your career and go back to school later in life. If I can do it, so can you! I have two kids too. I drove for Uber for the two years I was in school to pay the bills.

I start my new job as a nurse next month!

Congratulations! It’s never too late to start a new career path and nurses are desperately needed. Good luck with the new job!
