Hi Julie,
I understand how you feel. As a single mother of two young sons, working full time and juggling this degree is a challenge to say the least. It’s tough trying to stay “present”. I also struggle with very real feelings inadequacy as a parent trying to further my career. It’s hard not to feel bitter when you have to skip your child’s football games to catch up on graduate work. However, the end is in sight! It will all be distant memory soon enough. I guess we need to be present to our feeling of frustration, guilt and being completely overwhelmed for another month and week!
Aimee,
ReplyDeleteI didn't read Julie's entry but all I can say is that you are one of my heroes! I cannot begin to understand what it's like to be in this program as a single mother and a full-time teacher! You are one of those rare people who continue to stay motivated! Nice job! I admire you!!!
