Day 1 to Harmony
The first thing to know about me is that I love peace signs and palm trees...and the color pink. I began this journey to harmony 3 years ago when at age 47, I decided to go back to college for my bachelors. Something drew me here to Kaplan and told me this is where I belong. Soon after beginning my first few terms, I felt a strong connection to holistic medicine and became a Health and Wellness Major. I'm now in my last full year at Kaplan and will also be receiving my Health Coach certification in December. My long term goal is to somehow use my knowledge, persuasion and love of children to see that all of our children are fed with healthy and nutritious foods, that are readily available to them despite any socioeconomic challenges. My journey has just begun and I'm thankful to be where I was meant to be all along....it only took me 50 years to get here!
What a coincidence...I started back to school at the age of 47, too, and am a Health & Wellness major! Lord willing, I will graduate in November. I don't know that I have any big plans to change my career...I love my job as an elementary school health para...but I am so excited to finally reach my goal of achieving my degree :)

That's crazy, Deb! I'm very excited for you...and me, too! This has been (and is) one of the most rewarding journeys I've allowed myself to go on. I'm opening myself up to a whole lot more, though. Good to know a kindred spirit is a classmate!! Here's a toast to November. Awesome!!
