FINALLY... a College Graduate

In 1979 I applied to SUNY Purchase. I was not accepted. It took me more than thirty years to graduate college with stops at the following institutions of higher education:
  • Nassau Community College
  • The New York School of Interior Design (a lot of you had no clue about that one, right?)
  • Pace University (where I took Anatomy & Physiology because I thought it would be fun...OK, it was fun but HARD. I think I got a B. I was THE only person in the class who was not a nursing major.)
  • And last, but never least, Purchase College.

Many of my friends can boast multiple degrees that they received before they turned 30. 

I, apparently, had to live a little.

I am raising two amazing teenagers who will be experiencing college very soon. Their experience will be far different than mine. But it will be a place of magic for them and a place where their dreams will soar. Much as I expect them to.

And so, with a breadth of life experience, wisdom and age, I am delighted to say I persevered, got a kick in the ass from friends who said, "GO FOR IT," and now, I can finally add college graduate to my resume. 

An 8-1/2" x 11" piece of paper that doesn't change me at all, and yet...it totally does.

How's THAT for the greatest Valentine's Day card ever?

Congratulations Maggie! You are an inspiration to us who do not have the degree! Who think we are too old to learn anything more, which is not true! There is no stopping you now....Masters?

I have no need, currently, for a Masters. I will be creating classes, coaching opportunities, and divine magic having to do with TGHR next. I will be the teacher.
