    ...and was accepted for classes starting this summer.

    Finally at the age of 33, I finally have my situation worked out so I can attend the local university...my kids are all in school now, won't have the guilty feelings resulting from pursuing a worldly career over pioneering now that I'm no longer a JW, etc.

    My major will be clinical lab technology-its a two-year degree. I will be taking a chemistry class this summer which I needed a credit for from high school. I am looking forward to the challenge.

    I, of course, being a good JW of the 80s never attended college, got married to a nice JW brother, pioneered off and on, and had three kids. I know its going to be tough at times, but I'm going for it all the way.

    Rock on, sistah. As a fellow x-JW of the 80's, keep up the good work.

    Congrats!!

    You're doing the right thing, no doubt about it.

    BTW, I was "a good dub" and still attended college in the early 1980's. For all their fussing about it, they let you go once you decide to do it. I can't tell you how many said they'd wished they'd done the same as I. Poor folks, stuck in jobs they hated.

    Cheers,
