Hi everyone, Since last few days i am browsing this forum , after reading post of so many people ,i finally decided to go back to my books and give it a try.I graduated in 2002.since last 5 years i never got time to touch my books, i used to give excuses like i have to take care of 2 kids& husband. when i was browsing on net, i saw this site & what encourage me a lot that there are so many people who works full time & still preparing for exam. why can't istudy. finally i start my preparation last week, lets hope for best

U go girl. U can do it. We r all in this together. Not only am I a full time working mom but also an old grad. But I truly believe that if we have the determination, & willingness to work hard and put in ur best ,nothing can stop us.Infact I think having kids trains us for our future residency programs in the art of multitasking. So set up a schedule & start.One step at a time.Good luck.

Hang in there annika. I am married too (but no kids yet) so I understand how hard it is to take care of the family and prep for the exam in the meantime. Nothing is impossible. You just have to believe in yourself.
