Almost 20 years ago I made a decision to marry my wonderful husband instead of of finish my degree in public relations at Oklahoma Baptist University. I never regretted my decision to marry Kurtis, however my decision to leave school has always disappointed me. Until now.
Last fall I returned to school after a 17 year hiatus. It was tougher than I thought mainly because I was tough on myself to perform much better than I did when I was a young college student. I did.
I wanted to really learn this time. I didn't want to just memorize information for a test but actually gain knowledge. I am a firm believer that education is wasted on the young after this last semester in college. I thrive for knowledge. I couldn't wait for the next assignment to come. As I anticipate this next semester, I can't wait to receive the big thick text book I ordered yesterday. When it comes I know I will crack it open and look through it excited for my first reading assignment.
What I do know is that I won't quit this time. The man I dropped out of school to marry 17 years ago will see to that and for that I am extremely grateful.
