Good luck, Brandon. I hope you enjoy your classes.....I admire you for taking this on. Anything to do with computers is probably a smart choice nowadays. I know how to get my email and post on this forum - I'm good with that!! I'll leave it up to you to know how it all works!!

Excellent! You'll do fine, you'll surprise even yourself at all you will be able to accomplish in school. Keep us posted on your progress.

Brandon,

That is awesome!

Good for you!

Take it slow and do not put coursework pressure on yourself. It is OK to take one class at a time, and in many cases, it is one of the best things that you can do.

Education is not a race, but rather a gift. Each day you learn something new you will experience a great sense of accomplishment.

We are all here to add support during your quest, so keep us informed and always ask questions.

-Vic

Good for you Brandon! Don't forget to ask the college to provide accomodations for you if needed like extra time for testing, etc. Jim utilized all of them while in college.

Congratulations! Going back to school was one of the best things I have ever done. It really made me feel empowered to fight back against this stinking disease.
