Yesterday, I received some very exciting news. Many of you have heard that I was accepted to an online MSW program a few months ago. I have been most concerned with getting enough financial aid to cover the cost of a second Master's.
Yesterday, a big door opened up when I found out that I have enough financial aid, meaning that I am set up to go to graduate school, starting in May.
This is not just about school, for me, though. I have been in treatment for my mental illnesses for awhile now. Going back to school is a huge step forward.
This is about getting up after a big fall. This is about speaking back to the paranoid thoughts. This is about proving to myself that I am not going to let my illnesses dictate what I do or what mountains are seemingly too rough to climb. This is about gaining back control of my life.
This is about perseverance, resilience and strength that God has given me and all of us.
