"This is... Sparta!"

So, I might be exaggerating a little with the title of this blog, but it will somewhat be true in the near future. Sure enough, my new "homeland" starting next month will be the home of the Spartans, which are also known as the mascots for the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. That's right, ladies and gentleman... I am moving on to continue my education at UNCG. This is a decision that I have known about for sometime now, but as the time is quickly approaching for me to prepare for my big move out, I am getting more and more nervous about starting my junior year in college.

For my readers who are oblivious to my schooling plans, here it goes: for years, I have dreamed about working with children, especially those who are in middle grades. During my first two years in college, I did what most of my classmates from high school did after the failing economy- go along the (cheap), community college route for two years after H.S., and then transferring on to a university of my choice. And that's exactly what I am doing.

I am finishing up my last semester at Forsyth Technical Community College, after which I will be receiving my Associates of Art degree. On August 19th, I will be packing up and moving into my dorm which will mark the beginning of my college experience outside of my parents' home. After the move, I will start my first week of classes that are part of the School of Education Program at UNCG. I will be attending classes and working in the classroom for the next two years in preparation to receiving my teaching license in Middle School Ed. Until that time, however, I have started this blog to share my new experiences as I train to become an educator...

Just like the last post, I have so much more that I need to inform you all about, but I am needing to use my time tonight for a Pre-Calculus exam that I have tomorrow morning :(

Wish me luck, readers... and until the next posting, enjoy the cooler weather that we're finally being rewarded with this summer. Take advantage with it while you can.

A New Beginning

It's been a long time since I have gotten comfortable enough to sit down and write once again. Since my overwhelming health challenges, last September, brought my life to a temporary stopping point, I have recently found myself starting to pick up from where I left everything off. Though I feel like my stroke changed me, I believe that it changed me for the better...

It is late on the 4th of July- I am currently in the beautiful city of Providence, R.I., in the process of packing and preparing the 12 hour long journey (by car), back to my hometown in Advance, NC. As much as I want to write on here about what's been taking place in my life since last September, I know that I have neither the time or patience to bore my readers with the countless accounts of drama that I faced throughout the last 10 months.

For now, I'm starting over... starting over with my blog, my life, and the new path ahead of me... Until I get back home, however, I must focus on packing again as Thomas and I head back home...

Ciao!
