While only halfway through, the journey has been quite fascinating and eventful. I have learned a great deal, both in reference to higher education and otherwise. I have learned to be patient with others (which is usually quite easy for me) and myself (which is not usually as simple). I have learned to budget my time, plan accordingly, and build in extra days for things like colds, surgeries, and unforeseen work tragedies. I have learned what happens when exercise is the thing that gets omitted from my routine. I have learned that good food is energizing to both my body and my mind. I have re-learned that television is a waste of time, and getting rid of it was one of the best decisions we could have made. I have learned that I am resilient, optimistic, and positive, and my various strengths will carry me far. I have learned that loved ones do not always understand why I have chosen to do this, and that is okay. I am learning to recognize and embrace the strengths of those around me. I have confirmed my love for and my commitment to the field of higher education. Most importantly, I am learning to value both the challenges and the gifts my sweet God has granted me. I am blessed beyond measure to even be on this journey. While I am eager to see what is ahead, I am certainly enjoying the learning process.
