Ok, so when I went to college the first time I was really afraid, but I always new that I would finish & that things would work out...so why now, my second time around, am I so terrified?? I guess it is because it has been "awhile" and also because I realize that if I don't do well then I have wasted money & will still need a career. Wow, that is so scary. Am I being paranoid? Am I going to do ok? Am I crazy for going back to school at this point in my life? This is something I really want to do. I think about the certification for occupational therapy and I freak out on the inside! I wish I didn't have to take it at the end of the program bc I have all this time to build up anxiety. UGH!
Going back to school is a neccesity. I don't want people to think that I am saying bad things about Southeastern Bible College...b/c I am not....and I value the time that I spent there, but I have had so much trouble with teacher certification b/c of my degree. I was able to get temporary certification in Florida, which was great, and I had a great taching job, but the school eventually closed...and then before I was able to test for full certification, we had to move for Eric's job.Has anybody else had those same issues with their SEBC degree? I guess that I do believe that things happen for a reason...some days I am not sure...I'm a doubting Thomas for sure. I am so excited & so nervous about the steps I am taking now. If you think of me, please so a prayer that I will do my best, be calm, and trust that things will turn out ok.
Other than fear, which I hope to be able to let go of...things here are ok. The separation is not going smoothly, and has become a stressful situation as far as legal matters go...but this is just a season, and I have had so many great seasons in my life, so I have to expect that I will have difficult ones too.

YUCK YUCK YUCK!!! I have too many comments.
1. Nick HAS had those same problems with his degree.
2. You're brave. I am so proud of you.
3. I wish I could go back to school sometimes but I would be freaking out if I did too.
4. I am so so sorry that things are going difficultly. That is so sad.
5. I will pray for you this morning as I clean the house.
Laura, You sound great- a little more positive than I would be! I have been going through the same issues with my degree from SEBC and my job is on the line, kind of, because of it! I have to decide IF I want to go back to school- I just don't know! I sort of just want to change careers and be like a hair dresser or a photographer!! I will be praying for you!! I know you can do anything you set your mind to!! Good Luck! Love ya, Silena
I just saw this post. I haven't had any problems with my degree but I think it's because I haven't tried to apply to public schools. More and more Christian schools are requiring state certification though. I did find a program through the local Christian college that in one summer will give me my state certification. That is the route I will go when I get the $$. When we first moved here I looked into getting my masters and they wanted me to retake a lot of my undergrad. No thanks!
