Application for master of arts degree in holistic education: What are your goals and objectives for enrolling in this program and how do you plan to use the master's material upon graduation? As I face a snow white word document, currently names Document 1, I begin to feel the weight of my catch-22.
Present:
I spend my morning hours working in the preschool, followed by five hours in the same classroom everyday. These five hours, of course, produce hours of reading, writing, and lesson planning. My evening are also filled with making dinner, doing dishes, picking up my house, and hanging out with the love of my life. In addition, we are blessed to be a part of an amazing church that is being used by God in incredible ways. Mike and I learn, grow, and fellowship with this faith community through small groups, kids' city teaching, and Sunday morning setup. This is my life at present.
Future:
Simultaneously, my days consist of thoughts, planning, and discussion for life to come. Am I ready for my master's year? Can I truly be a teacher? Where will we go after I graduate? Will I teach for a year in Knoxville? Are we suppose to church plant? Will we be ready? What will my role be? How can I prepare myself now?
I find myself trapped in a catch-22 between the present and the future. How can I fully focus on each day while still preparing for what lies ahead? Where is the balance? How do I live and plan without burning out?
