Gpa = 4.0 again!

What does it take to keep 4.0 GPA?

I actually attended Community College over 20 years ago. At that time I was married had two young children , worked a full time job, helped my husband with a small business, and completely maintained the household. My husband, bless his heart,  really did almost nothing around the house. Often I would read my text book into a tape recorder which I would play back while doing chores driving or any other opportunity I could in order to study more. After over a year and a half of getting less than 2 hours of sleep a night on average I was burned out. I cannot imagine I was a very happy person. My husband told me I had to quit school to focus on the business. Needless to say I was not very pleased but I also realized my marriage was in trouble. We were both going in completely different directions and really spent no time together or  enjoying each others company. I had to sacrifice my dreams,  again, even though I was less than a semester away from getting my degree. My grade point average was about 2.8 5 though I had some courses which were much higher. And apparently one of my courses I dropped out of the instructor chose not to allow me to drop the course and failed me. 

Now more than 20 years later I am attending school again full time and online. Both my children are grown adults on their own and I am divorced. I was single for quite a few years and though I enjoyed it, I like having a partner.  I am now engaged to a great guy. He has two teen boys at home yet, but he takes care of the house and the children. I do help but it is primarily his role. I generally work fulltime. No I'm currently laid off and frustrated
with the job search . I could write a book on how to interview because I'm going to so many.

As far as my grade point average now compared to before is entirely the difference between absolutely no support and complete support and understanding. The part I regret the most is waiting so long to go back to school again.
