Taking The Challenge

So I just went back and started college for the first time in 14 years... Not sure I was ready for the first night I went... I had to laugh because my instructor said to take out the syllabus that we were supposed to print off the blackboard so we could go over it??? What??? What the heck is a syllabus??? What the heck is the blackboard??? Boy was I in for a treat :) I decided I was from the stone age and needed to get my butt in gear and figure out what the heck I needed to be doing. WOW RIGHT... I really enjoy my social work classes and think I'm really going to LOVE this profession!!! I know the world is in need of people who want to help others and put themselves out in the public... Our house has changed a lot with me going back to school and working... Poor Mitchell has to do a lot for his young age while I am gone for the two nights of school... Trying to do homework with kids is another story... We took from Owens unemployment for that whole year to work our butts off and get where we really want to be in this life... We also learned that it really doesn't matter how big your house is or what kind of car you drive to be a successful person at all... It's doing what you love and loving what you do... Owen is the happiest person in the world being a chef and I will be the happiest person in the world being a social worker and helping others in my community... We may never be rich with money but we will be rich with HAPPINESS... I really learned what matters in life throughout the year... We had quit a while to ponder the things of importance to us as individuals and as a family... We may have a tough few years ahead of us right now but it will sure be worth it at the end of the long road... I know that I have lots to learn in this life and boy am I ever ready for the challenge... So take it from me that it's NEVER to late to change the person you are into the person YOU WANT TO BE... It's NEVER to late to get your college education and have that profession you have always wanted... If you are in question about what you want to be when you grow up just take the leap and go for it... It will be the BEST DECISION you HAVE EVER MADE!!! He NEVER said it wold be EASY he said it WOULD BE WORTH IT!!!
