Gosh, I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I grow up! I'm a grandma now, and here I am, still in college, waiting for a class to start. I think I want an MBA - at least I started it, so I'd like to finish. And I think it will be useful in my current profession. But at the same time, I'd love to go to Bible school. And maybe study computer graphics. What to do? I feel like I'm running out of time to do it all!
It's so much fun, though. I attend Drexel University in Philadephia, and the bulk of the students there are in their twenties. I really enjoy being around young people and the energy they bring to every endeavor. It makes me feel alive to work really hard and to still have challenges in my life that can't be handled easily.
I have two children who are teenagers and two who are in their early twenties. I'm not sure that they don't all think I'm over the hill. They don't see me taking part in class discussions, meeting with students outside of class to study or work on projects, or shooting the breeze with other "kids" just like a regular person. LOL. In their view, I'm way, way not cool. I'm just mom. Which, out of all my jobs, I'm most honored to be. If I could get an "A" in parenting, that would be my greatest achievement. Okay kids, get me that great grade!
