"When I went to back to college there was a black woman in the class with 3 kids...:

I have recently graduated from college. There were several women in similar situations in some of my classes. All of them were determined to succeed and they were an inspiration.

They all had children and lives outside of school. The difference is they made no excuses and made the hard choices.

College is hard especially if you have a family and a job.

Not impossible, I graduated Summa Cum Laude having a full-time job and a family of four. Being one race or another made no difference.

“Being one race or another made no difference.”

I agree, but I shouldn’t have to help anyone else in class, especially because of their race, which this teacher was insisting I help her ‘because’... it’s that student’s responsibility to study and pass.

and congratulations on doing fabulously, btw, wow.
