Yes, yes I do.
A master's in Library and Information Science wasn't always a part of my life plan. It wasn't until I moved to Guam and exposed myself to their library system that I discovered my passion for community literacy.
This month I begin my master's program in the School of Library and Information Science at San Josè State University. This decision has catapulted me into adulthood. While completing my undergrad I probably spent too much time socializing and not enough time studying. I probably didn't realize how much money my dad was paying for my education. I probably could have tried harder to get straight As instead of waiting until my last semester to fully apply myself.
This time around, my life is a little different. I'm married. I'm financing my own education. I'm a teacher and understand the value of time management. I like to think I am more mature and have more to bring to the table.
I'm ready.
Daily I advocate education as the most important investment. Recently in class my students read an excerpt from Kaffir Boy that began with the following quote:
"Education opens doors where none seem to exist."
I was a believer, and now I am a doer.
On a lighter note, I found a video that suited this occasion. Enjoy.
