The Education Runaround

I have recently rejoined the ranks as a college student to obtain my teaching certification. Wow, what a difference a year makes in the college world. Everything has changed. The people you have come to know and love seem to still know you, but they also seem to be distant and unsure of who you are. Your approach to people change because of the experience you had and the experience in the "real world". I wasn't going to even go back to my college. I had decided to move on in the education ladder to pursue my Masters degree, but of course something unforeseen happens that has me going back to the day-to-day world of being in a college classroom. Now I have decided to pursue the Masters and finish my certification at the same time. Who told me I could do that and is it even possible for me to do? I don't know, but I'd rather try and fail then not to have tried at all to accomplish what I believe is necessary for me to have in the long run. I'm doing this only because I feel there is purpose for me in early childhood education.
