I can't believe it is finally here. Graduation is finally within REACH! I am sitting down today to complete the final assignments for my graduate program from Lamar University. WOW! It is a great feeling knowing I accomplished this task at such a busy time in my life. Graduate work often took my sleeping hours away as I juggles both my children being in multiple sports and activities, building a lakehouse, being a curriculum writing for MISD, and my husband and I still managed to have date nights on occasion. I definitely learned how to juggle a busy schedule, which is needed in the world of leadership.
I am proud of myself for this accomplishment, but I also know the journey is just beginning. One of my goals in the next five years is to go back to school for a doctorate degree. In education, we must always continue to grow and learn if we expect the ones we are leading to do the same.
I am the very first person in my extended family to have a master's degree. I hope my children see this accomplishment and follow in my footsteps. Education is one of those things that can never be taken away! I earned this degree, worked hard for this degree, and I will own this degree for the rest of my life! Go LAMAR!
