I have another opportunity to finish graduate school. Some of you may recall that my first attempt was less than favorable. Nonetheless, I have always been very persistent in my endeavors. The previous graduate program was my first experience with the, non-traditional, VHS based and online streaming courseware. Although this model was perhaps best suited for the busy professional, I quickly discovered that this model was not best suited for my approach to learning. I seem to respond better to the more traditional classroom and instructor lecture model. Moreover, I have found that it is always better to have interaction with other students on a regular basis.
My employer also has a vested interest in my success, as students are nominated for participation in the MSPD-UDM. Hence, I will be alotted appropriate time away from the office to successfully complete this program. I am well aware that I'm going to have to severely limit some of my extra-curricula activities. I will keep you posted on my progress, as time elapses. It will be alot of work, but should be fun.
Yo Al, I know you will do it just keep focused and remember to keep your eyes on the prize. Also if you company is willing to pay and give you time off, you have to make the effort to limit you external activities. You are not giving them up, just putting them on hold.

This is great news!!! I knew you would find a way to overcome. I won't take to my proverbial soap box commentary about education, and the continuous pursuit thereof. Just know that your Ford "Mom" is proud of you.
BRAVO MY SON!!!! I am very happy you have made it back into the traditional education circle. As you have heard me say many times "please give up some or most of the extra obligations you chose to take on. There will be plenty opportunities for you to all of the things after you complete your educational pursuit. Just remember, I am always on your side and please continut to talk with me about your questionable involvements.
