For the last four years I have poured myself into a full time education... one that my husband never thought I would complete. Well, I showed him. I will graduate in May, 2015 with a BS in Psychology and I have never felt more proud. I have to confess, completion has surprised me a tad as well.
For economical and family reasons, I cannot pursue Psychology at the Master's level. It would entail leaving my home and family for the next few years and that is not an option for me. However, I decided to take the world by storm, to follow the advice of Gandhi: "In a gentle way, you can shake the world."
I applied to the Masters of Social Work program. Everyday the excitement mounts. And now the icing on the cake; a letter of acceptance!
Some of what I've learned:
*You are never too old to dream - More importantly, you are NEVER too old to FOLLOW a dream!
*A life without a goal is hardly a life at all!
*If I can do this, ANYONE can!
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any
direction you choose." Dr. Seuss
Debbie, I am really excited for you and SO VERY PROUD. I really cannot imagine going back to school at our age and I think you are so brave and such a great example. I often think about it, but then immediately let the thought go as it is so scary. I also think the field you have chosen is so YOU. Love you bunches. - Dori -
