Summer semester begins mid-May and ends mid-June. I registered for Government II. I will be reading and studying
selections from The Federalist Papers
The Roots of American Order
Democracy in America
The Declaration of Independence
The US Constitution
I can't wait to meet my mentor and attend my first online class. GWU has changed their distance program and now students meet in online classrooms several times a week for colloquia. Before, I participated in conference calls and they were great but I think this will be even better. I will be doing a lot of writing and I will post some of my work here.
It may take me 12 years but I will get a degree from GWU and then I'll enroll in the masters program. While I'm in the early years of raising my children I just have to squeeze in a class here and there as I can. When my children are older I will devote more time to school. I know, I know, life just gets busier. This will require that I say "no" to a lot of things. I have to make space in my life for this. I know I need this education to fulfill my mission. And, I think this is the best way for me to inspire my children to begin their own scholar phase. The 2 semesters I've already done were some of the most life-changing and inspiring experiences of my life. It is really hard work and heavy reading but it's worth the effort. Until you've experienced having a mentor, you can't know what a difference that makes in the educational process and I know of no other university that uses the mentor model to help students get a leadership education.
Yea for George Wythe University!
