Almost Done!

Well it is amazing how time flies and life changes! In January 2007, I decided it was time to step up the pace and get my Master's Degree. At the time I was an Assistant Principal at Universal Academy Charter School and hated working under someone who was not educated and had no clue how to lead a school. I knew if I was ever going to be able to move up I needed to get my Masters. Well as of this week I am done! It has been so much fun and I have learned so much. I have also made some incredible friends who have walked with me through this journey. Thanks Tara, Ves, Jessica, and Serita! Texas Woman's University has been amazing and I am so glad to have chosen them for my degree, even though they are extremely liberal. My professors have been awesome! Thanks Dr. Barbour, Dr. Casey, Dr. McClellan, and Dr. Keller!
Through my journey I have change school districts, gone back to teaching, moved to Frisco, and become the leader I know I was intended to be. Hopefully this will be my last year of teaching. I will participate in Frisco's Growing Our Administrative Leaders (GOAL) program and begin interviewing for assistant principal jobs next spring. I have to thank Warren and the kids also as I end this blog! I could not have done it without them. They allowed me to be gone two nights a week, miss games and programs, and study many nights! They rarely complained and I hope if anything I have imparted the ethics of being a lifelong learner and the importance of an education to my children. Warren is just praying I do not decide to go and get a Doctorate for a while, but the time will come I am sure!
