This is my 4th term at Kaplan University. I must say that I have been doing rather well. There were a few struggles here and there like the day my son was admitted to the hopsital. Our short check up on his asthma turned in to three days at the hospital. I got a little behind in my studies but caught up rather quickly. I have a very supportive family. My children allow me to read the books I am studying to them at night and my boyfriend does a lot to keep the children busy when I need to study or am working on something for class. My 9 year old daughter finds it interesting to just pick up my anatomy and physiology book and sit back and read it. I am greatful that she is able to read those kind of books without thinking that there is something wrong with the pictures of naked people in them as many young children would naturally do. She has already learned a lot just by reading out of it 20 minutes a day.
As a family we enjoy anything that involves the outdoors. We love to ride bikes, camp, hike, go on small nature walks, fish, and just play. I have 4 children and my boyfriend has 1 so our home is always full of some kind of activity. I love my life and my family. I just recently celebrated seven years in recovery. Recovery is just as much a part of my daily life as my children are because without recovery I wouldn't have my children and my children would not have a mother.
