Oh that one thing that keeps nagging at you.


Well, there is one thing I said I wouldn't do — that was spend anymore time in the college setting. After years of pondering and nit picking at my heart and realizing that there is something that I have always wanted to do, here I am looking into masters degrees. Now that I am 25 and enjoy my job, I am looking for something that will be even more fulfilling and helpful to other people as well. I have started the process of looking at a masters degree. I am talking to my first admissions coordinator today. (Well, not actually). See, Sam took me to U.C. and it turns out that I got there for the open house and it was the wrong program. Yup, they don't even have the program that I am looking for. So, I buckled down did all my research and found four colleges that have the program I want. Now, here I am, up early preparing for a conversation with the admissions coordinator at Miami University for the Student Affairs in Higher Education program. Yup, it's going to be a long tough journey, but I'm trusting in the Lord and listening to what he is saying to me. (I hope, I am hearing him right.)
Anyway, I walked out of the house this morning with two cups of coffee, one was in a mug and one wasn't. The other, had steam rolling off of it. It is the first day of the year that it is in the 30's this morning.
Here goes nothing. Here goes nothing, to me continue the chase of the American Dream and striving to do things that make me happy. All I can think about are the days I had in the Student Leadership offices at The University of Tennessee. My experiences at SROW and all the experiences I had throughout the summers of being an Orientation Leader and Ignite Leader, those summers changed my life and that is why I am doing this now. Hopefully, I can change others.
