Mom, you know your children pick up on what you do and say. They learn by imitating your actions. Let them see that something is important to you and the chances are good that they will begin to value those same things.
Show them you believe in yourself and that you are committed to a goal. Show them you are willing to work hard and sacrifice now for a better life. Let them see you put your education first as you study hard and don't give up. Share with them your struggles to finish an assignment or prepare for a test or just make it to class on time and the chances are very good that they will begin to imitate the same attitude toward their own school work.
As they watch how you organize your time, they learn to do the same. When they see how you approach a project, you can talk it through with them and let them see how that planning works.
When they are all grown up and have to face challenges themselves, perhaps they will remember what they learned from you and think, "Mom did it, so can I." It happens more than you might think.
If you feel like your children need a responsible role model and you know they would benefit from all the things that you could provide with a better job, let them see you take the steps toward that now.
Federal and state money is available for you to use for tuition, books, and childcare if you will go back to school. States are doing their part, in many cases allowing people to continue receiving their unemployment checks while they attend school. Schools are making some certification programs available in only twelve months. It seems that everyone is involved in offering assistance in one way or another.
But it is still up to you to take the first step. Check out your local vocational or community college or online schools. You might find that first year so rewarding you want to continue. Or maybe you go from there to a better job. Either way, you're better off and your children have the experience of seeing just what you - and they - can do!
