How I did it: I studied diligently to pass the GED. Then I applied for financial aid and loans. When I got accepted I signed up for classes and then repeated the process every year and quarter thereafter.
It was always a challenge. I had to learn a lot of grammar and basic composition before I could even begin to tackle research papers. From long division to Laplace Transforms I struggled with math.
Although I was a big science fiction fan, I actually learned a lot from all those basic science courses.
 

Lessons & tips: If you make it your top priority you will succeed.
No matter what your family, freinds, and the world around you does keep your priorities straight. 

Resources: The advisors and other students on campus were really helpful in getting started.
