Block 42

Higher Education 

I'm Lucky.

I not only went to college 

(Ball State University
Muncie, Indiana
1973 -BS in Education)
but I also
received a Masters Degree
and ended up with 
(I think)
at least 35 more hours.

So,

my block #42

is the Blessing

of Higher Education.

 

I lived so close to Indianapolis,

it was a MUST that I would

get my Master's degree

somewhere in the area.

Some of the classes were from 

IUPUI

and some were from

IU-Kokomo,

but the majority were from

Butler University

in Indianapolis,Indiana.

Not cheap,

by any means . . . 

private schools never are.

They had what I wanted

and I appreciated

thee small classes.

I never got close to any students,

I don't think you do

at the masters level

but I did have one professor

more often than not,

guess not that many

wanted to teach evenings.

I'm glad I had him . . .

I liked his classroom etiquette

and his background in the 

Public School System.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the privilege of attaining my childhood dreams of teaching. No matter what people outside of Public Education think, my motto has always been "I Care, Therefore I Teach." I always thought I would like the past tense of this placed in the back of my gravestone "She Cared, Therefore she Taught." That would be my life in a nutshell.

Amen.
