Simple moments

Although life is chaotic...it has it's simple moments. Like when you first see your newborn baby, kiss your spouse for the first time as husband and wife, or have your morning cup of Java listening to the birds sing their morning song. I had a similar moment  this past week.

Education is said to be the most rewarding investment you will make in your life. Being a single mom, working essentially 3 jobs, and taking a minimum of 12 credit hours a semester, money is tight. This past week I was informed that I am being award a scholarship that Tanger applied me for. So this scholarship came at such a great moment for me. The best part of the scholarship is that Cleary matches it!

The day before I found out I was receiving this award, I had met with my advisor at Cleary and was reviewing my education plan. My goal now is to graduate and partake in next summers commencement ceremony (per my goal) with my bachelors degree in Marketing and then go for a minor in Corporate Communication. Although I knew I would make it happen one way or another, you still worry. Now I don't have to worry as much! I can concentrate on trying to make the Dean's List again!!! :)

My work-study job at Cleary has really been a treasure to me. I have met some really great people, had the opportunity to see just how great Cleary is from the inside, learn some PR skills, and network with even President Sullivan. How many other people going to college can say they network with the president of the college??!!
