Thank you Charlie 808, I'm actually surprised that I got a response so soon. I really appreciate your advice and am going to remember it when I pursue my goals.

I am a mother of a 2 year old and I work part-time as an elementary teacher. I am also taking professional development courses online to upgrade my skills and I realize that this is starting to put quite a burden on me. I know I need to work on my time management skills, but recently I just burned out and took some time off work. I would like to go to graduate school someday and get a M.Ed in Counselling Psychology. There are 2 universities in my area that offer this program. I attended the information session for one of them and I really started doubting my ability to get in. I am not sure that I have the best writing skills to get into graduate school and I get nervous when presenting in front of adults. I have clinical depression and sometimes that gets in the way of ability to study or work. I am afraid as well that I will not be organized enough to handle the demands of the graduate program and take care of my family. Does anybody have any experience or advice regarding this?
