Fellow Readers,
Has spring sprung where you are? I know here in the Midwest; the weather can be quite uncertain. We went for a day of almost 70 degrees, and the next day it was in the 30's. Quite indecisive, if I don't say so myself. Aside from the weather, let's talk about higher education. Back in 1998, I started my college journey at the local community college. At the time, I was taking my basic course in order to transfer to a 4-year university to become a teacher. I should have stuck with my gut and majored in History because I truly love museums, and antique fodder. But I allowed myself to be swayed and switched callings to English. Don't get me wrong! I love reading. There's something about an excellently written novel that transports you within the story. It's like a movie in one's mind. My associates in Secondary Education took me approximately 10 years where I graduated in 2008 following my father's death. I didn't waste any time moving towards a bachelor's degree. In 2011, I graduated with a Bachelor's in English with minors in Creative Writing and Literature. And when I realized that I didn't want to teach high school, but wanted to be a professor for a university, I enrolled in an online graduate program with a third college. Fast forward to ten years later, I have officially been reaccepted into my master's program. And since I've authored Holes in Your Umbrella, I am continuing with poetry concentration. I've heard mixed reviews that if I were truly an author, I wouldn't waste time finishing my degree. But I personally believe that there's something more within the degree program that will enhance my writing, while being an author. My Goals for returning to the Master's program:
