i am thankful: education

today, i am thankful for school.  i am thankful that scott and i have the opportunity to get an education.  this wouldn't be possible without the help of our parents, of course, and we are extremely grateful for that.

i am grateful for parents who taught us that getting an education is one of the most important things we'll ever do.  i agree.  not only because you can create a better life for your family with an education, but knowledge is one of the very few things people can't take away from you.

sometimes people think i'm weird/crazy that i am going to school, but i say WHATEVS!  i know some people wonder why i do it even though i won't have to financially support my family, but it's just something i have always wanted to do.  thanks to my parents for instilling that belief in me and thanks to scott for supporting me in completing my goal.

plus, i can't even put into words the excitement i feel for next month.  scott will finally graduate with his bachelors degree and i am so proud of him for his hard work.  i am proud of him for choosing to put his education before the possibilities of making more money.  he's so cool.

so today i'm thankful for education.  getting an education rocks!

You go girl! Way to stick with it. It's not easy, I know it's not, but the sacrifice definately does bring forth some great blessings....at least it has for me.
