Re: Fall 2006, and the Rest of This Mom's Life

Apparently, the state of Missouri (or at least CMSU) wants poor people to go to school. I got enough financial aid to go and be comfortable with the decision. I'm so, so excited and relieved about this. I am going to pursue my dream to become a teacher, and quickly. I could be done in a year and a half, though I may make it a full two years to make job hunting easier on the both of us. So, you're looking at (well, I guess you can't see me, but you know what I mean) a full time student starting August 2006. More excited than I can express in writing. Which says an abundance--I'm an English major, after all.

Yaaayyyy! I was really hoping you would be able to do this! Even with the distance, it'll be better for the both of you to just "Git er done" (LOL).....

So happy for you guys!

BTW: Thanks for the sweet comments....

Congrats Rachel! I'm so thrilled that you are being given this opportunity. I've known a few single mom's (my own included) who have managed to complete their degrees. It's not easy, but the lesson you teach your child is invaluable. I know the lesson mom taught me by finishing school with my sister and I has carried me.
