Lifelong Student

People call me a lifelong student.  I guess I am. 
 
​I will turn 40 at the end of next year and I will still be in school at that time.  I don’t know why I feel the need to get a degree in everything that I am interested in!  haha  I have 5 now, but I am finally finishing/starting again the one that has escaped me: the PhD!  When I was on track at Louisiana State University, I was on the path to have 4 degrees and have one of them be my PhD by the time I was 30!  However, that accomplishment never happened.  I got all the way up to the Generals and I dropped.  My life changed and I moved to a different state (hello Texas). I left the classroom and became a library media specialist.  That led to my real 4th degree.  Then, life happened again and I moved back to Louisiana and started working in technology.  Along came my 5th degree. 
 
But still no PhD.  It still evaded me.
 
Am I tired of school?  Why, yes…yes I am!  But I never tire of learning!  So…here I am back again to get my EdD.  I have no doubt that this time is the right time and I strongly feel that God does everything for a reason.  As I begin this degree (today is the very first day of the program), I am nervous, but excited to start this final (yes…I am claiming no more school after this…haha) journey to a degree in school.  EdD…here I come!
