A BOLD STEP. . .

In the face of all that I have to do from day to day, I've decided to take a bold step. Sometimes we think that we've come to an end on certain things in our lives. I'm no different than the other person when it comes to thinking that. I felt that my days had come to an end with school. I mean . . . look I'm 47 yrs. old. Damn near a century, but I decided to go back to school and get my learn on again. I'm futhering my Associates Degree in Education and aiming for my 4 yr. degree in the same field, but wait. . .I discovered something more profound ! I am able to get my 4 yr. degree in Criminal Justice also by doing a double major. Hummmmmmm. . . how can any one resist that? So let's do the math. According to my Advisor, I have 4 classes to do to get the Criminal Justice Degree and 15 classes to do to get the Education Degree. I am getting the chance to extend my Associate Criminal Justice Degree also. How about that?

Am I actively using my CJC Degree? Hell no! Never thought about chasing criminals. I was interested in the law and the rights of an individual in case I had found myself on the wrong side of the law one day. Huuummmmmmm!! I think that many should study law, but I have been actively using my Associates in Education Degree within the school system. So I thought about once I get both of those degrees, I can seriously change my course of action in my job and work more in the field of Childen Intervention programs. Too many children slipping through the cracks, especially black children. I figure that I can make a difference somewhere and somehow. So I'm thinking "Man I might be the Oldest Geezer going to school" and behold while at the University. . .I saw a lot of Old and some older Geezers roaming around as lost as I was trying to get things in order for the start of the fall semester. I felt that maybe later during the semester I would seek them out and they could work with me to get this old mind oiled up for learning. Who knows. . . just maybe I can make a difference with them also. So as we say in church. . ."If anyone out there knows the word of prayer." keep me in yours that I may do good in this and accomplish what I desire in my heart to do.

God Bless You!
