I'm recently pursuing the dream that almost eluded me because of placing other things and individuals
before what I believed would be something that would give me an identity separate from that of my spouse (ex) and my family.
I'm learning that in order to gain any real satisfaction from anything that I attempt to endeavor, that there needs to be
a complete committment to the project regardless of the outcome. Being a single parent has brought with it responsibilities
that I can only commend the "women" before me and the "women" after me for their active dedication to not only raising a family
but maintaining a career and completing school as well.
School has brought with it some surprises that I didn't think that I was prepared for.
I had and still have the unending support of my family as well as the desire to want to see what I started through to
the end and hopefully experience the fruit of my hard labor, sacrifice and committment that had to be made by not
only myself but my family as well. I'm hoping and looking forward to molding the minds of those individuals over whom
I'm given charge, and hoping that they take a little piece of me with them as they continue their education and set their
own personal goals.
