I have to say that after watching the Princess and the Frog, I can agree with Princess Tiana when she said you can't just wish on a star to get what you want, you have to work hard for it.  I never thought working hard or even working at all would get me what I want, but from Fall Quarter 2008 to this past quarter, I have been proven wrong!

During Fall Quarter 2008, after four years of study,  I finally decided to give up pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and minor in Spanish, to push one more time for my real dream to be a Spanish and Spanish Education major to eventually become a Spanish teacher. 

Winter Quarter 2009 was my first quarter taking Education classes, and I felt like I was put through the gauntlet, but I survived to gain more confidence in my professional and personal life.  During the last year, I have buttoned up all the classes needed for the Education major, and I'm beating down on finishing off the Spanish major, which will be accomplished after the quarter in Merida!  I also was married last July!

I've had family and friends tell me to wait for marriage after college because I wouldn't finish, but I'm here to say, I'm married, and I'm going to a foreign country without my husband for ten weeks!  Then I am coming back to Ohio to student teach during Spring Quarter 2010, and will graduate with two Bachelor's degrees!
