Twenty-two years after completing my undergraduate degree, I entered the master's program in adult education at Oregon State University. The program was designed to be completed in 3 years; it took me more like 4-1/2 years.
This evening I took time to look over my final project - a less formal one that occupied the last month (May 2005) while our portfolios were being reviewed by University faculty. I did mine in the form of a scrapbook (of course!). Looking at the pages now, I marvel at all I was able to accomplish in spite of feeling slow, confused, and technologically challenged at times.
This was truly the achievement of a long-time goal, and one I am grateful I had the opportunity to complete. Here are the final words in my project scrapbook:
"The more I see, the more impressed I am - not with what we know - but with how tremendous the areas are that are as yet unexplored." (Senator and former astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr.)
