Last winter, I was nominated by my principal for a pretty amazing opportunity...a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. After an extremely long and intensive process, two interviews and LOTS of paperwork, I was stunned to find out that I was accepted. So, I will be spending the next year attending classes at the University of Indianapolis to earn my MBA in Education Leadership. The schedule is CRAZY and the workload is crazier, but I've been given an unbelievable opportunity to earn this degree for FREE so I feel incredibly blessed. Plus, I have a pretty amazing husband who is supporting me 100%.
I got to meet all the other amazing Fellows in a trial by fire trip to Chicago! Luckily, there was a familiar face in the crowd...my crazy friend and former colleague, Lindsay! We had an absolute blast getting to know everyone. There are some INCREDIBLE educators in this group!
Once we returned from our 4 days in Chicago, we began classes which meant we were spending 60+ hours a week together. These people became family pretty quickly. It was a crazy 6 weeks, but somehow we all survived. Now we see each other about once a month, and it's like a big family reunion! I'm so glad I get to spend so much time with this group!
