After an 8 year hiatus, it is finally time to get that degree. I have dilly dallied in the graveyard waitress business, the selling of vinyl siding over the telephone only to crawl into menial jobs such as sales repping for a soap importer and working as a 911 dispatcher. It has been a long break since I started my education degree in 2001, but here I am and ready to rock my school's socks off!!

Though it was a large hiccup in my plan, I can't say it was a sad day when I told my unsupportive, derelict husband of 9 years to pack his bags on our anniversary.... my mantra for the day: We Must Perservere!

Can you BELIEVE it?? I got a 4.0 on my first semester back in school!!!!! To all you non-believers who said I couldn't do this while working shift work for the county and raising my girl on my own ..... I am on my way!!

While all of you work and play, I know that if I knock these 9 extra credits out of the park, I WON'T HAVE TO TAKE THEM NEXT YEAR!! And that is worth a little pain..... maybe.

With all of my generals out of the way, this semester is going to be a hoot! What with the combination of an early childhood practicum, learning to teach with new technology in classes, Intro to special education and math for elementary kids, I couldn't be more excited ..... to teach elementary school kids!! Onward and upward ....

So, I just learned that I got a scholarship for my hard work so far. I know it's a little silly to cry, but it has just been a really long trip so far and the pay off seems so far away .... thank you, WWCC for recognizing what I am doing and giving me that little push I needed to stave off burn-out.

Starting my Bachelor's. I kind of can't believe that this has gone by so fast .... Hello Valley State University!

I can only keep my fingers crossed at this point that I will graduate with my Bachelor's of Arts next spring and be able to teach and make a difference in the lives of students, in my daughter's life, and most certainly in mine. The doors of opportunity are locked to me now, but I know that I have a key ...

So, at this point, I am ready, I am ambitious, and I am an educated woman who wants to put her ideas into action! I already have the layout of my room planned out in my mind ... I am thinking BIG: like a CIRCUS THEME! Mirrors and lights and stripes on the walls and heavy red velvet curtains framing my awesome Smartboard. It will be ... epic.

After putting in three years, teaching, learning, playing, enjoying, endeavoring to be the best teacher I can be and hopefully not burning any bridges in the process (fingers crossed), I can take my experience and MANY letters of recommendation and move to greener pastures .... like, literally greener. Connecticut, here we come!!

At long last, this is where I want to be: My American Dream. I will live in an old house in Hartford, Connecticut with my now teenage, teen-raged daughter and my maybe-in-the-future husband, SuperCop Steve, where we will live in an old, creepy house with a large GREEN yard in which our future 14 dogs will play and then I, Jeanette Lacey, will live and teach happily ever after.
