My Advanced Seminar professor inspired me today more than any other professor I think I've ever had. Not only is she a cool ass Black woman...slightly afrocentric....100% intelligent....rocking a salt and pepper afro....but she's also a Doctor. She told us the story of her journey through education.
Went to college at 17.
Partied way too much (She dropped like it was hot in class....I promise you).
Finished her last 3 years of college with straight A's.
Had a family.
Went back to get her Master's degree when she was 40!!!!!
Got her Doctorate.
And now....she is paid!
This is someone I wouldn't mind being like when I grow up. But I want to get some experience in life. More experience. I NEED to travel. But as soon as I'm done with my escapades.....I'm getting my Masters of Arts in Socio-Cultural Anthropology.
