It took me 3 1/2 years to finish and it was well worth it. I walked with my class May 15, 2010. It was a real challenge, but now the stress is over and I just simply do not know what to do with myself.

I was able to buy a an extremely cheap version of the most classic sewing texts not too long ago. It is the Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing. Now it is only a matter of using it.
I know that personal mission statements change as a person’s values, experiences, and life changes, but I have finally created a mission that means something to me at this point in my life. I just needed to refine the statement that I created six months ago by adding a few other things that I value in my life.
My purpose of each day for the rest of my life is to dedicate myself to a life of continuous scholarly and worldly pursuits, development of new skills, improvement of ethical character, development of physical wellness and abilities, and honoring my family, friends, and eternal beloved with love, compassion, and support.
My next step is to repeat this mission to myself like the pledge of allegiance as a continuous reminder.
