In Summation...

I am done with school. I got my degree, my media specialist certification, and my reading endorsement. It has been a wild ride. I met so many wonderful people and I made some great friends. I laughed a lot, I studied a lot, and I stressed a lot. At one point I had a tough decision to make and I am happy to report that I chose to do the right thing, rather than the easy thing. Later I was given the opportunity to take the easy road, but I chose the to take the hard road because I wanted to make a bad situation better. I spent many hours talking to kids, reading to kids, and helping kids read. I told kids that they were smart and I told them that could do it. I spent nights reading childrens books and YA books. I wrote down tons of ideas and created countless lesson plans. I sketched floor plans and thought about color choices. I took 16 courses and by some miracle I got an "A" in every course. I made plans and I dreamed big dreams.

As I close this chapter of my life, I do not have a job. I do not even have an interview. However my heart is full because I know that along the way I made a difference.
The end.
