Thanks to all my farmgirl sisters for the congrats and good wishes. Jennifer, I had also hoped that my hard work would be an example to my children. Unfortunately they just called me a nerd or a Steve Urkel, but I could tell that they we proud. |

When my son graduated high school, I entered college. Years later I received my Bachelor of Music degree and Master of Music +30 degree.
I loved every second of my studies.

Congrats, Connie!! I received my Masters in Educational Leadership in August of 2010. It took me longer to complete the program than the catalog suggested, but I was juggling a full-time teaching position, 4 children, and a household. I remember the great sense of accomplishment (and relief) I felt when I was finished. It was worth every minute! It's like I tell my children every chance I get...."your education is one of the few things that can never be taken from you". They don't quite "get" that, yet.
Anyway...sorry for the rambling....
CONGRATS!!!

Congratulations. I got my Masters in Special Education many years ago but I remember what a challenge it was going to school, teaching and raising 2 kids. It is hard work. I spent so many nights doing homework and so many days going to school after teaching all day. I don't know how I did it when I think about it. It was all worth it though.

I also have one more year of school before getting a history degree, Patricia. Although my semester's not done yet this spring, they like keeping us a while at my school it seems. |
