In my life as a mom, I’ve always found it interesting that our dreams change as we get older. Lyra told me the other day that she wants to be a mom when she grows up and work in Cub Scouts. Now I do appreciate that she is watching me and wants to do the things that I do, I have to wonder what exactly she will be when she grows up. Once upon a time Steven told me he wanted to grow up to be Batman, a firefighter, a cowboy, and a missionary. Lisarae wanted to be a teacher and Kjerstin an attorney. Each of them is changing and growing in what they want to be as a grown-up and as their dreams change. For myself I dreamed of growing up to be a teacher, but as I finished my Bachelors degree I wanted to do more so I decided to continue on to graduate school. Many people have had a hard time understanding why I am continuing with my education when I have… so many children…so little time…insert whatever reason you think for why I shouldn’t continue with my doctorate. Understand I have gained a love for what I am doing and firmly believe that I can do some good in community with my degree. I love psychology and trying to figure out why people do what they do and how I can help them.
