Rising

Yesterday I made my decision to apply to SMU's Cox School of Business for my MBA. They seem to have a wonderful program that would really build my professional career and I am very excited about my decision. I realize the first obstacle is getting in, but if it where to happen, WOW. My whole life would change. Maybe it's the change I have been seeking.

So, I am beginning to plan for the rest of my life.

One of the reasons I made the decision to further my education was because I wanted to stand out above the rest. Being a petite, hispanic female in the corporate enviroment can work against you in most circles. Not to mention being a single mom with two kids. I am starting to feel the anxiety most students feel when applying for a college they really want to get into.

But then the great words of Maya Angelo rang sweetly into my ear and bring a peace into my heart... "I rise"

I Rise
I Rise
I Rise

and everything will work out fine!
