reassurance

A few hours into my first day of graduate school and I am more convinced than ever that this is the path I'm supposed to take. I'm surrounded by papers, pens, highlighters, books, and the glow of my laptop. It's everything I wanted. It's the exact challenge I mustered up the courage to take on. I have two years of knowledge to eat up and regurgitate into papers, presentations, and tests. I plan on giving it all my brain power.

 I've gained a reassurance from my heart that this is right. I'm enthralled after reading a few chapters, following some power-points, and listening to lectures. I am soaking it all in. I'm not rushing this. I'm not hoping for time to speed up so I can throw my cap up in the air...again. This is where I am meant to be and I plan on living in the moment.

After being a little lost for the past year, it was time for a change. Pursuing a master's in teaching is one of the best decisions I have made for myself. Soon enough, I will have a classroom of kiddos and a career that means something. Until then, I'll be up to my ears in work, but it's so worth it.
