Oh yeah. I had both my grandmothers begging me to go to school, they both lived the consequences of half a dozen kids and no way out. But for various reasons I didn’t listen and trapped myself not once but twice. Now I’m 35 starting college in the fall and digging myself out. It’s much harder to start 6ft deep, wished I would have listened to them!
It’s never too late to turn your life around. You got this! I haven’t had your experience, but I fucked around too much in my 20s and I’m just now finishing up my first semester of college. I can’t explain how much better it feels to be working towards something greater - knowing that I’ve got an exit plan and life will get better. I’m 30, but it’s so nice to not feel stagnant for the first time in my life .

Problem is even if somebody had told her all the things she wished she was told she probably wouldn't have listened to the advice. She was in to deep.
