My daughter got the best news of her life today. She was accepted into the music program of her choice for doctoral studies and was offered an assistantship to attend. Wow. What a kid. What a talent. What a blessing...
After months of waiting; spending oodles of money, time, energy, and sweat, she achieved an incredible deed. She not only was accepted, she gets to go for free.
Now, mind you, being paid as a doctoral student is frankly nothing short of indentured servitude...but she loves it. Teaching music at the collegiate level is what she is doing now in her masters program and it's what she wants to do for her life's work. She wants to make music with others and bring music alive for college level students; to make it meaningful and to have it provide joy to them and others. This is her chosen path. This is what she wants to do with her God given talents.
Good for her.
I admire her tenacity; her persistence when it looked like she may not get there; and above all, her commitment to herself - to her personal truth and her personal mission.
I think she's a rock star.
Go LAURA!
Woot!
