Props to students

Here's to all the students I know who have been studying for years, while also working full or part time and keeping their good lives in good order. I am humbled by you all! I don't know how you have done it. It is hard work being a student in graduate school and I can't even imagine how much energy it has taken for you to do all that you have done.

I think of Kristin working full-time, completing her masters program, getting her teaching credential and having a baby--all at the same time. Wow. Andrew keeps a whole village humming along while he takes 3 tough classes per semester at Dallas. Kevin works in the library at Fuller while tackling his full load. And then here I am. I "work" one day a week while trying to do well in one little class.

Here's to all of my hard-working kids, whether you are taking classes or not, whether you are suporting someone else who is taking classes or not----I admire the heck out of you all! There is not a slacker among you. Each of you is a study in productivity and creativity and I am very proud to know you! Dad and I thank God for you.

hang in there, it only gets exponentially more difficult from here on out. Although it is equally rewarding.
