About me

...so im just starting to organize the course load in my head, trying to figure out blog from think piece from journal entries and whatnot.  This should have been my first entry as the intro.

I've been in and out of community colleges for since the 90's; at first because i just felt like i should be in school. that didn't work out well. At 26 years old, i went back just to gain general knowledge, taking courses in things that interested me with no attention to degree requirements. that was enriching, For the first time i actually enjoyed school. 

I've always been interested in music and kind of held out for a career in the field. Last year i concluded that as a teacher, i could still have the summer to pursue anything else i want, really. (or do nothing but surf.) It's a great job for a part-time dreamer like myself.

Teaching is in my family. my mother, three aunts, one uncle, and two cousins are all teaching or pursuing careers as teachers. It is one of the most important careers one could choose. With the exception of careers in the the government, medical or engineering field, most other professions are simply making money for someone else, making little impact on what is important.  

 

So it's on to RIC to buckle down be a serious student., It's tough working full time and driving an hour to school everyday but for the first time i'm looking at it as something temporary, and a means to something better. ...that, and "it's time to grow up" -Mom
