Getting Closer to My Dreams

Everyday I wake and realize I'm getting closer and closer to my career, even though May 2012 seems so far away. Walking across that stage twice with my college degree and with my alternative certification and   master's of education in curriculm and instruction. O HAPPY DAY!! That is going to be the happiest day of my life. Things will be so much better for my daughter and I. I can imagine myself walking into my second grade classroom and seeing bright and eager eyes ready to learn or working with the gifted students and watching them excel. I want my students to go home telling their parents all they know about that day's classroom experience. I'm also excited about coming home and helping my daughter with her homework at the kitchen table.  Her being active at school with spelling bees, girl scouts, cheerleading or dance. She and I taking trips of our own across the United States. Of course I'm looking forward to being married and more children, but I believe that will all come in due time.

  4. A positive outlook does so much! You've come a long way and should be very proud of yourself - you deserve to pat yourself on the back! Your daughter is already looking to you and learning how to be a strong independent woman. You are an awesome role model for her!

  5. Hi Natalie! Your time to shine is just right around the corner. I know how tough it can be sometimes, but stay strong and focused, and all of your dreams will come true. I think it is wonderful that you incorporate your daughter in your future as much as you do. It's hard being a single mother, working, and going to school too, but it will payoff in due time. Good luck with school and an early congratulations on graduation! Mine comes in December 2011, so I know how you feel.
