A Clean Slate

Funny how I can relate to that cartoon scene. Don’t we all wish that we can always start with a clean slate? To restart all fresh and new sounds very exciting doesn’t it? Today, is that day for me! I have finally enrolled in school again. And this time around, I have bigger and better inspirations to guide me through.

I unfortunately didn’t take college so seriously back then. It has been since 1991 that I winged every course that I surprisingly passed through. When I graduated high school in 1987 (yes, I am that old! Yikes!), going to college was not an option. I went and did all of it, but my head was truly not in the right place. I was more concerned about the whole social part of it than the actual classes. Sad, because that’s my only memory of college then – Which party to go to? Whose party to go to? When is the weekend coming? What?!- there’s an exam today? Uurgh…

Fast-forward ….not looking back (so don’t ask me about the past so I don’t gag anymore) but definitely learning from it, I am back at it again. I know this will be tough and it will be for the next few years. But now with my head screwed on correctly, with 3 kids and a husband routing for me, I am reaching for the skies and no less…

What would you wish to redo if you are given the chance to do correctly all over again?
