as levels with a baby..

Hiya I am enroling tommorow or wednesday for 2 As Levels courses at my nearest college. I am now 19 and have a son who is one. I live with my son and his dad(Jay). Jay has a fulltime job where he works shifts so my mum has kindly agreed to take care of Tyler(my son) when his dad cannot. This was so that I didn't have to go full-time to get free childcare(dont wnat to spend that much time away from T) and so I didnt ahve to pay for part-time childcare. I am just a little nervous about how I will manage studying now I have a child, although to be fair I wasn't a studier before(dropped out of as levels and the next year i completed a different course but dropped it to part time due to morning sickness) but I think that the whole arrangement will make me want to keep at college instead of wasting the time and effort we all put in to it if i dropped out.
I suppose I'm looking for encouragement, would love to hear its not as scary as i expect!

:thumb: Good Luck!
You just have to make sure you make time for everything...I used to try and do assignments on an evening when she was in bed, so that I could see her more at the weekend.
So yeah, as long as you organise your time wisely, you'll be fine!
Edited to add, I graduated in July with a 2:1
if you seek a career then why did you haev a child? oh well thats your story
hope it all goes well forn you . . .
I think youll do fine. You have more of a reason to stick at it than a lot of other students so I think youll do well.
Ive got a 3 year old and im going back to college in january. I know itll be hard, but being a mother gives me more determination to do well I think.
In the end, you'll have accomplised something, and gained useful qualifications than you and your son's futures. Go for it and do your best!
Good luck!
