NBCT Celebrating

After I found out that I achieved National Board Certification, I had to celebrate!  My friend Kathy treated me to lunch at Taco Bell.  We really went big! ; )  Then, that night John and David went with me to Walker Brother's Pancake House, my favorite!  David told them it was my birthday, so I got a free sundae.

I have been thinking a lot about my certification and my age (30 is not far away...) and I have come to the conclusion that I have turned into a career woman.  I know it sounds very corny, but I always thought that the title career woman was reserved for business.  However, the more I think about it, I have put so much towards my career in Education.  Since graduating, I have worked every year, earned one master degree and am working on a second, was named teacher of the year, achieved national board certification, among other things.  I have put off having children and have worked hard.  I am proud of myself!
