My First Day of College

Welp... after almost 6 years I finally did it!!!! I started back to school today after graduating from HS in 2004. The past few years going back to school has been so scary for me for some reason... I even started the financial aid process and got accepted into like 3 or 4 different schools and never followed through!! I had once again planned on going back way before this November when my alopecia started and was of course falling back into my same routine of doubt. I was so scared and nervous to start today because as I said it was scary enough before and I had a beautiful head full of hair back then!!! But I attended my first class today in my wig and I started to cry in my car on the way there, but I did it and I truly feel like I accomplished something great for myself. As stupid as this may sound even something as simple as sitting through one class with a wig on has given me hope that things will get better and I can be as strong and brave and successful as I want to be. Thank you for letting me share!!!!

Thats great! i myself just started school last thursday. i graduated in 2000 so its been a long time since i have been in school. i am losing my hair and always wear a bandana but even so i feel like i am moving forward which is a great feeling. i was so nervous as i watched younger full haired females and i myself cried in the parking lot wanting to kick myself for not doing this sooner and wishing i did it before hair loss. its amazing how things happen to us that really push us to do things we never thought we could or adleast we kept putting off. Not sure if i'm making sense but anyway i'm happy for you and may we fulfill our dreams with or without hair :o)
