We Can't Get There Alone

Well, I got an "A". Absolutely worked by posterior off to get it, but did so just the same. That makes up for the "C" I got in the first section, and puts me right where I need to be to keep at least a 3.0 for all of my prerequisite classes. I'm full of emotion today. Coming off a lousy cold, so maybe my nerves are a bit frayed from that, too. But mostly I am so very thankful for those supportive people around me who are making this journey so much easier than it would be otherwise. Dr. Bankston, my initial supporter and mentor. My husband who picks up the household pieces so I can do this. My boss and colleagues at work who make it so I can work a schedule that supports this effort, and who help me when I need time off. My study partners who have kept me feeling confident, and who have provided their help with learning, study, and just how to maneuver this big university. My professors, graduate instructors, and supplemental instructors who have extended themselves and who have been as happy for me as I am, when I accomplish a grade.

So it's just like in Corporate America and life in general, I guess. We simply can't get "there"...wherever and whatever "there" might be...and do it alone.

My sincere thanks to all of those who are with me now, and who have been with me as a support throughout my life. Sorry it took so long to say it.

Cheers!
