Wow!! What a day! The first thing that hit me today was Dr. Holder's expectation that we are earning our Doctorates, not just for the raise, but because we should expect to continue to add value to the field of education. I felt his passion about that and it caused me to remember back to the reason I started this quest almost two decades ago. I wanted to make a difference and change the world. I'm 20 years older now, and I realize that I may not be able to change the whole world, but I can change the world around me and influence the world around those I love and care about for the better.
Then we discussed a few of the ways that technology, if used appropriately, can improve education and our society. All in all it was a very good day. I have tons to do tonight for my portion of the Lit Review, which is still quite overwhelming, but I am trying to take Dr. Holder's admonition and not stress. With God, ALL things are possible.

I hope we get our project together in time...easily :)
