Hi Anthony!

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you what I've decided
to do...

I am going back to school in the spring to get my Master of Arts in
Teaching, with a specialization in English. I will complete this program
summer of 2002, and will be certified to teach high school English by
2002-2003 school year!

Your program helped me immensely. Finding out information regarding my
talents, skills, and personality was helpful. Still more helpful was your
assistance in putting those elements together in potential careers.
However, the main aspect of this counseling that I found to be most
beneficial to me was the emphasis on throwing out preconceptions and
embracing new ideas. I found myself backsliding on this several times (the
"yeah-buts" took over!), but I caught myself quickly and was able to get
back on track!

I have honestly never dreamed of pursuing the career that I now embrace. I
am also considering returning for a master's degree in administration in a
few years to qualify for school administration!

Thanks again for everything!
