Intro

   Why am I starting this blog? 

            Well I am returning to school and I am required to take certain classes and English 102 is such one.  The professor requires us to write a blog because he feels that the more we write the better we get.  First let me introduce myself, my name is Dave and I am returning to school after 20 plus years of being out of school.  Friends and family always ask me why, well the answer is a three headed response.  First is my wife is working on her second masters and the kids are in school and when everyone is doing homework and I am sitting watching television, they ask why I am not doing homework and I say I am not in school.  They look at me and ask mommy why do they have to go to school and daddy does not.  Well it’s hard to come up with a real reason.  I want to be a role model for them just like my wife so guess what I did, yep went back to school.  The second reason is no matter how hard you work in business if you want to get ahead you need a piece of paper saying you are trained do the job.  I got tired of getting passed over just because I do not have a degree and watching these idiots with no idea how to do the job get promoted and then having to teach them the job. The third and final reason I am back in school, is for me.  I want to finally finish what I started and get the degree I know I can get. 

            Now I am back in school along with everyone else in my house hold hoping for good grades and a little quiet.  My kids look at me doing my homework and don’t complain as much while doing theirs and my wife; I think, is just giggling at me when I yell at the computer.  But I know she  is glad I’m doing this  and really is proud of me because of the hell I putting myself through she knows I hate school.
