100 posts strong!

I've had this blog for three years now and I just hit my first 100 posts milestone.  Thank you blog for always being there for me.  Thank you blog community for being who you are but more importantly who you're not.

A journal prompt...

from Dave Ellis's Becoming a Master Student.

What I want from my education is...

Options, self discovery, and self-actualization.  An education is something that no one can take away from me.  It opens my mind and therefore the world up to me and the knowledge I gain gives me power.  It opens up career opportunities that I would not be privy to without it.

When I complete my education I want to be able to...

Make a comfortable living for myself and my family and be happy doing it. 


I also want...
My children to see me finish something and set a good example for them of commitment, integrity, determination and accomplishment.  I want to equal my husband in education.  I want to be as self-reliant and independent as I choose.  I want to make sure that should I decide to further my education, I will be in a  position to do so.
