Finally, my 5-year plan is happening...three years after it was supposed to be completed! I guess that getting married and having children thing got in the way...TOTALLY KIDDING of course...I love you babe!
I'm going back to school. I was just recently accepted in to the Master's program at Azusa Pacific University. I will be starting classes on April 14. Please pray for me as this will be quite an adventure. Yet I know that if I do not do it now, then it will never be done. Jess and I have been praying about this for some time and feel that this is the time. I should be able to get two classes completed prior to the beginning of the next school year and football season.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. "Why are you getting your Master's degree?" - It has always been a goal of mine. I knew I always wanted to continue my education beyond my undergraduate degree. This will allow me to explore other avenues of education.
2. "What are you getting your Master's degree in?" - Educational Leadership
3. "What does 'Educational Leadership' mean?" - It is a different way to say Administration.
4. "Do you want to be an administrator?" - I've been considering it for some time now. I have always believed that the Lord has blessed me with leadership qualities. In no way do I want to deny the abilities the Lord has given to me.
5. "Would you miss the classroom?" - Yes I would. I love teaching. Teaching has been such a blessing to my life. The relationships I have developed with my students over the past eight years have been...to sound like a high-schooler...awesome! Teaching United States History, World History, Government, Economics, Health, PE, Psychology, Agricultural Biology, Veterinary Science, and Floriculture (ask me later about the last three), have been an amazing, challenging, and above all, a huge learning adventure.
6. "If you love it so much, why give it up?" - I'm not giving it up just yet. It will take awhile before I finish the program. My guess at this point, is that I will not enter the administration field full-time for another two or three years. Only the Lord knows. Also, I don't feel that I would be giving up teaching. Would I not be teaching History, yes. However, being an administrator does not mean you stop teaching.
So, that's it for now. I will keep you updated as the program continues. Again, please be in prayer for me and my family, as this will be a very busy time. We know the Lord is in control. If you have any other questions, please feel free to comment, and I will get back to you.
