Hi all i am a single parent of a 17 year old who is currently in the 1st cycle of his LC which he will be sitting in 2011. Which means that provided she dosent have to repeat in 2012 (i have every faith in her that she wont have to repeat she is bright and syudying hard this year.)

my question is this i am thinking of going back myself to Full time education to do my dream which has always been Teaching contract mostly (due to circumstances i have not been in a situation to even think about going back to college fulltime to do a 4 yr degree) i am currently teaching computers and accounts and web design~

But If i goto university say in sept i can apply as a mature student. untill april. but if i go back and get a grant i will be half way through my degree course will that stop my daughter from getting a grant when she goes to uni? or should i put my goals on hold for another couple of years and try and get another kind of job or try and get a second job. for the next few years till she has finished and then go down the road of education for myself. perhaps i am being selfish thinking of myself and doing this??!! i'm sure there are some that will think i am.!!

does any one know the answer to this or have any experience in this matter??
Thanks

If you want to be a teacher/go to university, you will need to improve your written english. I doubt that you going back to college will have an impact on your sons ability to get a grant to go to college. I say follow your dreams and destiny and go back to college as soon as you can.
 
What do you mean 'Teaching contract'?

What type of teaching are you interested in? If interested in Primary Teaching you can do in via http://www.hiberniacollege.net

(I would also reiterate what lionstour has said about improving your command of written English as it would be a basic pre-requisite for teaching.)
