40+ students

Hey, hey, just checking in! I'm new here and was wondering if there are any other "older" students here who have decided to start/go back to school after 40? I'm 43 and made a decision to study again, but it has been quite challenging at times to navigate life/work/studies, while also keep believing that I'm not "too old" to make a change in my life and that I've made the right decision. Just wondering how others are handling this?

Hey, nice to meet you here! 

You are bringing in a great inspiration to many of us here. Student is always a student and the age doesn't matter I think. :). I also think that you have just opened curiosity and not just book. You also remind us that learning is not defined by age, it is purely by purpose. All the best wishes for you there!

You could visit the subcommunity sometimes when you have time to find more and meet someone with similar thoughts!

Hey, sorry on that. I thought I have added the link in the post but missed to paste the link. 

Subcommunities under different categories available here. It has its own forum and support. Some subcommunities have designated chat rooms. But not all have that. Some have pop up cat rooms. For example, there is student forum, then age forum also there. There are many other subcommunity for mental health, lifestyle, safety also. They all are under communities. 

Student forum - Student Support Community Forum | Online Student Support Groups | 7 Cups
