Been a long time

Well it has been a long time since I have written on my blog wall. I have been busy and not been so motivated.

Well I want to inform you all that I have decided to not extend!! Originally I was going to start a ceramics program but that did not end up happening and things began to slow down at White Cane and GNCD. 

It is amazing the small tings in life that you get that can change whats next to come. A month before Christmas my mom sent me an email with an update on the University Of Arizona and the undergrad program that I was in. The news letter explained the new changes and benefits of doing the Masters Rehab program. That one letter sparked my mind. All of a sudden I was looking at masters programs and getting ready to apply.

When I went home for Christmas I got everything in order for when I come back April 2015. I applied for my masters, found an apartment between my moms house and school. I was so busy cleaning out old things and getting rid of the old. My life was going to change and my Peace corps service was flying by. 

I think that it is true that you have ups and downs threw ought your service, they can be huge drops in depression or teeny tinny lows in your service. I found that my service was never a full drop I had a consistent emotional ride threw my service. I have a lot of people to thank for that, some of the teachers at my school, my boyfriend, family, my newly met friends, and dancing. Of course my family back home helped me a lot when I need someone to talk to or getting me supplies for my projects.  

Now that it has been two years and re evaluated what is currently going on and what’s to come I have decided to go home and not extend. The school was interesting but White Cane and Grenada Council of the Disabled was by far what I considered my first assignment. I feel like I have accomplished a lot with them. Although I love them things have slowed down a lot, the ceramics project never really got started and I decided that its time to start my masters. So I am declaring that I am moving home April 20, 2015. I already have my apartment all set up and I have applied for the Fellows program at the University of Arizona, and the masters program in Rehabilitation for Special Education with counseling. 

I am also exited to announce that in April I will be getting married. It’s an exiting new chapter in my life and I cant wait to start it. Grenada will always be a part of me and a passion. I was so happy to be here the last two years.
