My High School ...ok, good. now I feel better (LOL). My High School was so normal suburban blah...and college, well, let's just say I was only beginning to wake up my yearning to learn. It was seminary that really got me - by then, at age 36, I was really ready to learn...isn't life odd. Now I look back and wonder why I "wasted" all those years in high school and undergrad - being more concerned with friends and growing up...Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876145.post-53360446489024799802007-07-17T22:38:00.000-05:002007-07-17T22:38:00.000-05:00I had never thought about this as being "called" a...I had never thought about this as being "called" as such....though certainly as part of some grand plan for sure....thank you for that! Yes GG, college was a let down, and every school since. I have been waiting for them to "measure up" and have been disappointed!RevDrKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043193615563649333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876145.post-77700288080058052552007-07-17T20:21:00.000-05:002007-07-17T20:21:00.000-05:00What an amazing story, especially your "calling" a...What an amazing story, especially your "calling" and drivenness to that Academy and then college!In some ways, I can see my strong, quiet husband drawn that way for education--he is the only one in his family, even now, to have a college degree; plus, he ended up with a PhD!<BR/><BR/>I do envy the mentoring you had from those wise women in high school. In the Catholic seminary I've been attending, I have met several such sisters who are wise, still seeking, spiritual, and caring. Amazing women.<BR/><BR/>Like Tandaina, I'd like to hear more of the challenges you met.

My dd (who went to a similar, although day, school) and I were talking the other night and I concluded that I have never had an educational experience since ("since" including law school and grad school in the humanities) that was as challenging and rigorous as high school.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10876145.post-31602153351939519152007-07-17T17:19:00.000-05:002007-07-17T17:19:00.000-05:00This is an incredible story of grace and listening...This is an incredible story of grace and listening, one might even suggest it was a "calling."

I attended the local public high school where I learned to survive my classmates and do enough work to get the grade.<BR/><BR/>What a blessing to be given (no, given isn't the right word, you MADE the opportunity) the opportunity to truly learn. I'd love to hear more!Josephine-https://www.blogger.com/profile/12328106972076348785noreply@blogger.com
