I like to always have goals for myself, and one of my biggest goals is also something I often dread, grad school. In recent days, however, I have begun to wonder if it is really that important. I spend a lot of time working on projects and papers that I could be spending with the people that are important to me. There is that old saying that says something like no one on their death bed ever said I wish I had spent more time at work. Grad school for me ends up like working a second job on the weekends because as a teacher I don’t have the time or brain capacity during the week to put the amount of effort I need to, so it ends up taking up most of my weekend. So, is it really worth it, spending every weekend reading books and in front of my computer when I could be spending it with my family and friends? I just don’t know that it is. I guess that’s the 24,000 dollar question for me right now.
Good question. I think you should consider your life goals: is this something you want, dreamed of, will use in the future? And, perhaps more importantly- what does your husband think! :) I will be praying for you! Just think-- summer is just around the bend!!
