Edit:
I am a non-traditional student at Macon State College. I returned to college after taking a fifteen year detour into family life. I have been blessed with three children who make me appreciate my parents in a whole new light. I have a seventeen year old daughter, a fourteen year old son and a seven year old son.
By perserverance, I will spend the next six semesters being a dedicated mom, a full-time, productive employee and a student reaching for the proverbial carrot; a nicely framed piece of paper that will adorn my office. I sometimes feel that it will be very anticlimatic. As I am living this extremely fast ride, the joy of the ride sometimes tries to elude me. I strive daily to remember that I will only go this way once and that each moment is vital and should be lived to the fullest.
Each day is a gift. I choose how I embrace it. When the sun peaks through my window each morning or more often when the alarm clock explodes in the darkness, I remember that I have a choice. I choose to smile and be grateful for the opportunity to go this way.
