I've proven to myself I can make it on my own. After 6 years, it's time to go home! I want to spend time with my parents and I'll never get out of near-poverty as a teacher and major bread winner in Oklahoma. To reinstate my teaching certificate in IL will cost at least $700 (!) and relocation expenses are crazy! We will never be able to move without help and will appreciate anything we get more than you can imagine! I do ask that this effort not be shared with people here, because I may have to stay. I want to share my decision when the time is right and plans are being made. Thank you for taking the time to read this!
