I will admit to being extremely happy at the moment, riding a natural high gained from my recent trip to the Burning Man event for 2009. I am not marking this goal as done as of yet, as I wish to see how long this feeling lasts.

How I did it: I decided one day to just break down and start school again, all internal protests set aside, so I did it. I contacted the University of Phoenix, made an appointment, went down there, and started the paperwork process. Within a months time, I was enrolled and starting school again. It has been nearly 2 years now and I am loving it. The only worries so far has been the cost, as it is far too expensive to go to school, but in the end it wil… Read how I did it…
I found a partner and the strength of will to start this process. Hopefully his skills as an artist match his skills as a writer, thus making this endeavor a bit easier. One of my lifelong dreams is about to become true, no matter the outcome. I don’t care about money for my work, recognition, or anything else along those lines. I just want to say that I’ve done it, as I’ve always wanted to do it.
I started school nearly 2 years ago and I will be an Elementary Education teacher once my schooling is concluded. I am realizing my dream, no matter the low pay, the lack of thanks, and the constant politics that are involved, this is my dream.
