Back to school...Back to school... Billy Madison watch out!

So I have made all these changes in my life and I am at the biggest one yet.  I have decided get my degree in Family Counseling and I am so excited.  I left school to "do life" - kids, work, music... and now I really feel like I have a handle of what I am supposed to do with my life.  I thought I wanted to be a lawyer - I mean it is glamorized so much and the money is supposed to be sooooooo great.  But...Law was not where I needed to be - I am a counselor in every since of the word.  I love working with people.  My charity puts me in contact with those who need a ear to hear them when they are in crisis.  My mother is a therapist and my daughter is even a peer counselor - seems to be a family legacy and I am finally "hip" to it.  I am excited and I found out one of my friends is going back for her Social Work doctorate so I already have a study buddy! :)  I also have two counselors who can supervisor my intern hours.  Seems perfectly logical to me and I hope it helps me to help the survivors I come into contact even more.
