does your family play a role in encouraging you to succeed in school?

My children have always supported, and encouraged me to go to school. They have told me they are proud of me for what I have accomplished over the years. They know how it has been for me., and how I had to stay up very late and study. They also knew how I struggled to pass test, because I had not learned a lot in the eight years I had gone to school.
My husband didn't want me to go back to school, he really gave me a hard time. He tried to discouraged me from going to school. He said I didn't need an education, he made enough money to provide for his family, but I think he knew if I got a degree, it would mean I would not be dependent upon him for everthing I needed. I kept on going to school despite what he said. It caused problems at times, but I never gave in to him and quit school.
Today I have A social work degree, and an LPN license, and I work as a school nurse. I have traveled a hard road, but I had, and still have, a lot of good professor's that have been understanding, and have helped me accomplished my goals, and my view about my life since I started my journey through college.
