I'm not middle age, but I am in school after leaving school. Currently I am taking two online courses, working full time, married with no kids, do all the grocery shopping, work out twice a week, and I am the person who runs around for hubby and myself. I feel like I am rushed sometimes, and that there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything, again that is with no kids.
I couldn't imagine going to school full time, working full time and having kids. I study at work and during lunch when I can, and since it's all online, I don't have to sit down for lecture or discussion ever, so I do it on my time. This makes it flexible, but I think a little bit harder, because I'm not forced to sit down.
I haven't had any issues with turning homework in so far, but it gets tough some times when I don't throughly understand the material. I would much prefer to work part time and go to school full time, like when I started school the first time. But we just bought a car, so I need to work, and I like having a little bit of money!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
