I have problems with looking at my education and looking at where other people are in their lives, and where I am at right now.  That being said the last time I was able to be home for Christmas was 2007.  I will be able to go home this year.  2008 was unable to afford it.  January 2009 broke ankle devastated me financially.  December 2009 had to work it.  December 2010 unable to afford it.  It may not always feel like it or look like it to others, but I have made progress.  Thank you to all of the people who have helped me.
