Praise God! I think I almost started to tear up when I received a confirmation email from Dr. Anderson (Vision Source, our eye doctor in town) letting me know that she will allow me to shadow this summer starting July 20th.  Boy, that made my day.  Every little blessing that takes me down my path to reach my goal is something to celebrate!  I also planned a visit to the Pacific University this coming Friday to visit the campus and get familiar with what it will take for me to be accepted there for Graduate School!
      In the mean time I stay on course by applying for every scholarship I can find, caring for my chicken co-op Restless Hens & sharing their eggs, caring for the 100 + newly panted trees on Wilburville and working as a tutor at the tutor center on campus.  Of course I'm also making time for my writing and speech courses, which I'm enjoying so far. Great Professors, I've been so fortunate to study with.
