Summer Semester is History and Fall Semester is Here

Well, summer semester was here and is now history. I found this semester challenging because I had never taken more than one class in the summer before. However, this summer I took four classes and despite the many challenges with God's help and hard work I was able to have a successful semester.

I had many sleepless nights trying to keep up with the reading assignments and completing my assignments on time. I am thankful that I was able to turn in all assignments on their due date. I know from my experience that working and going to school are very challenging but can be successfully done if one is willing to work very hard.

I am thankful to my co-workers Mary and Christina who traded hours with me so that I could attend my classes. Without their help I could not have made it. Also, I was in one of the best clinical groups where everyone cared for each other. All of their help and positive energy helped to lighten the load of school. We were also blessed with one of the best clinical instructors, Professor Martin, who went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that we had the best clinical experience. I am also thankful to my husband and children for their continued support.

Two weeks have gone since fall semester began and as usual at the beginning of each semester the work seems overwhelming. Nevertheless, with time the work will become more manageable as I plan my time to best suit my workload. With all the positive support that I have, I know that with God's help I will have another successful semester.

At this time, I pray for everyone who is studying or working on a life's goal. I pray for your strength, for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in all that you do. I also pray that you will be successful in all that your hands find to do. Amen

Be blessed,

Joy
