How is school influencing my life.

I think that school is influencing my life in a positive way.  Before I started going back to school, everyday of my adult life seemed to be wasted, because it always consisted of going to work just to pay bills and nothing else.  It felt as if I was just lost in the shuffle, with no sense of direction or purpose in my life.  But now that I am in school, with a goal of making a better, more productive life for myself, I can now say that I have a sense of purpose and direction in my life.  I no longer wake up everyday and ask myself, "Why don't you do something better with your life", because I am doing just that, and I feel great about taking charge of my life and moving in a positive direction.  Of all the things that can go wrong in this world, you can never go wrong by furthering your education.
