My best friend has always wanted to be a medical assistant. She went to college right out of high school, but she had to quit after she had her first child. Recently, she started taking classes from her home. She found a medical assistant certificate program that she can do online, which has been a blessing for her. This way she is able to work at her own pace so that she can still be there for her young daughter. She is looking forward to finishing the certification and getting back to work when her little girl starts school in a few years.
