Q: My big dream is to get a university degree – all my friends went to uni and they think it’s no big deal and don’t understand why I want to do it, but I got a job, settled down and had my kids and I feel like I missed out. Because everyone else feels like it’s no big deal, I feel even worse that it TERRIFIES me, and that even though I’ve wanted to do this for years, I STILL haven’t done anything about it. – Ann
Your friends have probably just forgotten that they were frightened when they went to uni…don’t feel like you’re the only one who is scared of this – you’re not. And don’t worry about not having taken action to now…dreams need time to ferment and you need time to come to terms with your dream and become the person who can do this…and you are ready to go.
Universities are used to dealing with mature students and will be able to reassure you. Take action! Take baby steps and get moving towards that big dream of yours. Get support – someone who will support you, encourage you, and can understand that it’s a big deal to you. Take little steps that are not so scary. You can do it – good luck!
