Reality

I definitely have seen over these past few weeks the true dedication that is needed in order to pursue my career goals, and I realize that the next few weeks will also give me a glimpse of this reality. Between preparing these lesson plans, teaching them, journaling for my courses, completing my course work, and managing life things can become difficult. But the few people that I am honored to hold close to my heart has made things sooooooooo much easier for me when I become stressed out. I am still waiting to see what happens with graduate school and pray that I am accepted because honestly I have never thought about what would happen if I wasn't because VCU was my first and only choice. Hmmm I never thought about that. I guess it's just that I have faith in my capabilities and pray that they can see it too. I have a full week ahead and I'm ready because I had an absolutely relaxing weekend. :) Back to reality..... ;)

Go Me!

Well I will be turning in my grad school application on Monday and today I found out that I will have waiting for me already a $2000 scholarship!!! It was so totally unexpected! Yes, I applied for it, but I wasn't expecting to get anything, and especially not that amount. So...that is great since in grad school I can only get loans and not grants, so that's $2000 I don't have to worry about. What an unexpected blessing!! I am just so grateful because I really need the help. Not having anyone in my family helping me financially becomes so heavy on my shoulders at times, and the fact that certain people don't support what I'm doing period weighs heavy as well. But...you know what...good things happen to those who wait....Go Me!
