Season 3 Episode 9: “It’s Never Too EFFing Late!”

In this episode, we speak with Romi’s Aunt, Mary Nabers,, a madre of two, who decided to say EFF IT, and go back to school in her 40’s. When she was younger, she had dropped out high school, and ever since then carried around this narrative that she wasn’t smart enough for school. But, she always wanted to go back. So, when that opportunity arose, she went back to school and  broke that narrative by really applying herself, and ended up on the Dean’s List and graduating with honors.  It just goes to show that you can rewrite your EFFing story, and know that you aren’t the narratives that you have told yourself for so long.  You have the power to break through them and become a fresh, new version of you.  If you are interested in going back to school, know that you have tons of resources available to you. All you have to do is research your local community colleges in your area, and either call admissions or go in and speak with someone. Remember, where there’s a will, there’s a way!
