First post?

So, I read a lot of blogs and I watch a lot of videos online and I've started this blog so I can have a voice that is not monitored by the rest of the social networking sites that I'm on and those I've already connected with. I want this blog to be a place that maybe I can meet new people and still connect with myself. This is a place to jot down stuff I've learned, things I'm struggling with and memories I've made.

I've recently started a new chapter of my life. Grad School ten hours away from home. I've grappled with whether or not to stay and finish or to transfer somewhere I'll be more comfortable. I've yet to find adequate support from those around me, but my gut tells me to stick it out and I'll be a stronger person for it. New Jersey is not for me in the long run, though.

If anyone actually reads this, other than myself of course, my name is Sarah and I'm 22 and getting my Masters in Childhood Studies. Many people like to call my degree "fake" and right now I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'll figure it out. It will allow me to work with children in more than just a classroom setting but also in policy and research. I can ultimately make decisions that will affect the quality of the life they will one day live.

We'll see where this blog goes, but I thought it might be fun to try and I've read a lot of inspiriting blogs over the past year and hopefully here I can find my voice.

Lator, Gator!
Sarah
