I am going to try to journal and blog about my journey through my masters degree, so that I can be able to go back and remember my journey through earning my masters. I am thankful and grateful that I have a supportive husband who wants to make my dreams come true and support me in all of my crazy ambitions. My dream job would be to be a stay at home mommy, work part-time as a high school math teacher, and teach as an adjunct professor teachers who are entering the teaching field. I love teaching, it is truthfully my gift and passion. I love to teach others math and watch their face light up in excitement when they understand the math. The hard part about teaching math is that there are very few professors with math or science backgrounds that teach credential classes. This was my case when I went through my credential, I did not have one teacher who taught anything other than history and english. Those two are pretty far away from mathematics.
I almost gave up the hope and dream that I was never going to be able to earn my masters degree, up until a month ago. I had the pleasure of participating in the pythagoras project over the summer and this project ignited my love of learning and math again!!! Providentially for me I received an email later the week of the project advertising a master's degree program online. I went to my dear Scotty excited as ever and he COMPLETELY supported my desire. So in a whirlwind of time I applied, sent my transcripts, was accepted and now I am about to embark on a journey expanding my education as an educator. I am so excited and am looking forward to all of the new things I am going to be learning that I will be able to apply to my classroom. PLEASE do not get me wrong among all of the excitement is fear, worry and anxiety over the changes that are going to come in my life. I am nervous about my time management abilities and the great balancing act that I will be having to do between: my relationship with God, marriage, family, job, youth group, and lastly school! YIKES...just writing it makes me nervous.
I finished orientation and learned that I will be on my computer and living and breathing school and working on it in almost EVERY FREE second I have in my life. I begin this journey with big eyes and big dreams awaiting to see where my Savior will take Scott and I...come along side with me and enjoy my journey.

Cassie- I know you will have so much work to do. Stress is never easy, but I will be praying that you are constantly renewed and refreshed when you are worn out. That your students always know how much you care about them, are willing to help them, and still can make the hard choices when it comes to your time. I hope you do really well, and the time flies!
