I got an urge one day last year. An urge to hit the books and finish up my bachelors degree. Crazy right? (And I have been "back at it" since December 2009.) After some "research," I decided that taking one class a week, in the evenings would fit perfectly into my life. My first night in class I seriously questioned my decision. I wondered, "What have I gotten myself into?" Then I started to like the fast pace, and the stress. Weird, I know.
Anyway, this week with school starting for my boys, I started to wonder if the craziness would be worth it. I mean, come on, do I really want to continue down this path? Would I be able to get everything done? Take care of my family? Really? REALLY?!?! Self doubt. Ever experienced that? I'm positive I'm the only one who has, right? Ya, that's what I thought.
Yesterday, I went to my weekly class and worked on my assignments, struggled over an Excel exam, and then talked to my instructor as I was packing up for the night. My teacher, Maja Tatar, just happens to be the one and only teacher over people like me who desire a bachelors degree in multimedia/graphic design. We didn't talk about anything earth shattering, but I left that night feeling a renewed sense of determination.
With a renewed desire to git 'er done!
So...giddyup!

When the task is as difficult as obtaining a degree while still being a mother, wife, house wife, and chauffeur it is in no way easy. I'm with ya sista. It is way easy to lose the drive. It is easy to give up. HOWEVER. I know the reward will be more than just a piece of paper that says you are smart. A renewed self confidence, and a drive to keep pursuing dreams!
I love you Kendra! You are a good example to me! Maybe we'll graduate around the same time. We'll make it a party.
so you are going for a degree in graphic design?
Cooly dude.
