Let me start by saying that if you ever thought that you simply do NOT have time to add one more thing to your schedule, you might be surprised to find out that you are WRONG!\n\nYou see, I&#8217;ve got some tips for successfully juggling school while being a full-time parent (who&#8217;s also, like the rest of the world, in the middle of a global pandemic). And I&#8217;m excited to share those tips with you today!\n\nLook, I get it &#8211; life is crazy.

Take full advantage of this by not putting any unnecessary pressure on yourself! If you have extra time during the week and can afford to put it towards your studies, do it. But at the same time, it&#8217;s okay if life gets in the way and you need to take a break from your course for a little while.\n\nYou&#8217;ll quickly see that the Interior Decorating Course is suitable to any lifestyle and personal schedule. That being said, this <em>does <\/em>come with a word of caution. While it&#8217;s undoubtedly nice to not have any deadlines, you&#8217;ll still need to hold yourself accountable. No one will be there to hold your hand and make sure you do the work. So, you&#8217;ll need to be able to push yourself!\n\nOf course, QC&#8217;s Student Support Team is always there if you have any questions. If you&#8217;re ever stuck or unsure about something, never hesitate to reach out to them by <a href=\"\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phone or email<\/a>. They have a great reputation for fast response times and dedicated staff who go above and beyond to help.\n\nPersonally, I know that when I&#8217;ve completed my training, I&#8217;ll have the confidence to design beautiful spaces and earn a stable stream of income, while also pursuing my passion. That&#8217;s the dream, isn&#8217;t it?

Set a realistic schedule for days and times that you anticipate you should be able to focus on your schoolwork. Then try to stick to this schedule as much as possible.\n\nI also create goals throughout my week of what I would like to accomplish. Having two kids, I find it immensely helpful to know that I can either sit down to work in the morning, after feeding the kids lunch, or when my husband comes home from work.\n\nQC&#8217;s course texts are easy to read, while still teaching new and challenging material. The assignments are extremely helpful tools that provide you with skills you&#8217;ll be able to use even after you&#8217;ve graduated. Trust me, with two kids, this could seem impossible. But with the support system around me, I can follow a schedule for my professional training that remains relatively normal.\n\nYes, this year has had its many curve balls, both globally and personally. My oldest son has been having to do his own schooling from home, and I also have a 2-year-old with loads of energy, who always seems to be running around. But if anything, this year has opened my eyes to new things and made me see the full extent of my own capabilities. I&#8217;m now doing things that I never thought were possible.\n\nLife is too short to not follow your dreams![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;22423&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>3 &#8211; Take advantage of QC&#8217;s Virtual Classroom!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]This is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/QCDesignSchoolVirtualClassroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">private Facebook group<\/a> specifically meant for QC students and graduates.

There&#8217;s no downside to joining, so why not take advantage of this additional resource?\n\nOnce a member of the group, don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions, seek support, and get some encouragement from your peers and tutors. Trust me, if you do not have the support system at home, you can find one at QC Design School. There are students from all over the world in this group! The beauty is that everyone is in the exact same boat as you. For many of QC&#8217;s students, this is an entirely new experience.\n\nAnother perk of the Virtual Classroom is that you&#8217;ll have additional support from your tutor. In general, after completing each course unit, your tutor will grade your assignments and leave you audio feedback. This feedback will cover the work you did well, as well as where you can improve.

Like I said earlier, I found QC while exploring the internet. I read many inspiring reviews that made me eager to enroll.\n\nBefore looking for an <a href=\"\/2020\/12\/how-to-ace-your-interior-decorating-course-assignments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interior decorating program<\/a>,\u00a0I was wondering what my next steps in life would be. I&#8217;ve always had a passion for interior decorating but feared the idea of going back to school. I&#8217;ll admit, I did not do well in high school. I suppose I let that fear get in the way of my future for quite some time.\n\nI was 34 years old when I finally came to my senses! I thought, <em>&#8220;What am I waiting for? Do I want to wait until I am gray and have grandchildren?
