I was so far behind in school after the birth of my baby that I did not think that I would ever catch up. I knew that there would not be much in the way of special attention given to me. I was out of the classroom for three weeks, but I never realized how little time I would have to work on assignments at home. The first day that I got back to school, I found out that I had three book reports due the very next week.

Whoever said that babies sleep all the time the first few months obviously never had my baby. I tried so hard to get caught back up in my classes, but it seemed like every time I sat down to crack open the books, the baby would need to be fed or changed or held. I am ashamed to admit it, but the breaking point came and I bought a custom written essay for one of my classes that I really could not afford to lose and grades on.

I had always hated the people who would buy term papers. I said that if I had ever gotten to that point, I would not be in school. So, I made the tough decision to finish the term and then not return to school for the following semester. It was a tough one because I really loved it. But, I decided that I loved my little one more than this and that is where I needed to be right now.
