Hello Out There!

Hello to everyone out there reading this blog! My name is Beatrice and I'm studying to become a Library Media Specialist at Syracuse University. I've been teaching for 21 years and can't believe I'm back in school again after all of these years. The program is both interesting as well as challenging and I've learned so much thus far. I've also had the privilege of meeting some really outstanding peple and have been exposed to many different points of view regarding educational processes and institutions. Although sometimes I am stressed out, I wouldn't trade this experience for the world!
My family (husband-Rich, children-Alison-14, Richie-10, and Sarah-9) have encouraged me to spend as much time on the computer as I need to and they just love checking out my report card when it arrives! Being away from them last summer was tough, but we made it through and everyone is looking forward to me graduating. Then I will need to look at colleges for my daughter-maybe Syracuse-who knows? For now I can't (we can't) wait for summer to come to get some R&R-we are a true sports and activities family and are on the run a lot. I would just like to settle down on a lounge chair and read a book of my choice-not a college text:)
For now though, I take one day at a time and have learned to become more flexible. I am enjoying this journey and will take with me an increased knowledge base as well as invaluable practical experiences.

Hi Beatrice-

Looks like you have your hands full with three teens (well, almost), work and school. I can barely balance everything and I only have a two year old (I head it gets harder the older they get???).

I look forward to reading your posts and learning something new.

You're off to a great start!

Kate
