Question

　　 My youngest eagerly entered kindergarten, while my oldest excitedly started college and I felt left behind. After being very happy as a stay-at-home mother of six children, I suddenly felt disappointed on a dead-end road and surrounded by a lack of direction, An inner anxiety troubled me that life was passing by. The road, requiting expensive education, appeared too long and difficult.

　　 Thanks to supportive friends and family, I eventually discovered the road sign pointing to the ideal program at an excellent college, which offered a lot of tuition grants( 學(xué)費(fèi)資助 ). With anxiety and fear, I went to the college at age forty. Driving to my first master's class, I was as eager and nervous as children for the first day of school.

　　 School required sacrifices: weekends for class, sleep for study, and life's extra money for tuition payments. Yet, as with all good things, the rewards greatly outweighed the cost. The narrow, rocky road developed will power and patience, while the smooth, open road built low confidence. Along the way, I met companions of all ages and interests: a 50-year-old woman who took part in photography classes at the college; a 62-year-old successful businessman who worked toward a nursing degree to serve in developing countries; an 80-year-old woman who enthusiastically started classes to use the Internet, so she could keep up with the world

　　 This past May, twelve years after starting the journey as a non-traditional student, I graduated with a doctoral degree in literature one week before our youngest child graduated from college. All six children have been especially proud, lovingly calling me " Dr. Mom". Never could I have imagined the wild rush and great travel of this ride back to school. When you hear the small, still voice urging you to do something more or different, remember you can trust your heart.
