Update...

So the news as of now...

My wife and I were able to find an apartment in San Antonio, so we have a place to live. This past week, we were both able to finish our Bachelor's degree. I was asked to fill out a survey from the university I attend about my experience. It is an interesting thing to earn a Bachelor's degree...I have this new line on my resume...but I don't feel any different. When I showed up to start my degree, I thought by this time I would feel like a genius and know everything about my major. I think I was wrong...I feel like the more I studied, the more I realized how little I know. In spite of knowing little, I have learned how to learn and I love learning. The rest of my life I will be faced with challenges, new problems, and concerns. I will need to learn how to deal with them when they come, which is something I have developed as a student. I know the process it takes to learn something, I understand how to recognize reliable sources and understand credible arguments. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to get a Bachelor's degree. I know most of the world never gets to walk this path, let alone get a Master's degree. Do I wish I would have studied something different? I don't know. I feel like Economics is a great major for anyone who will have a career that is based on decisions that effect lots of people. Health care is one of those fields. I feel my ability to understand markets, costs and benefits, and many other economic principles will make me a more capable tool to improve the quality of care received by patients. For me, patients are the reason I came into this field and I am determined to keep that focus. I hope during my studies in hospital administration, I will maintain that focus of the patient. On those days where I don't think I can read another word from a textbook, or listen to another minute of a lecture, I just have to remember the lives I will be capable of effecting for good if I focus, buckle down, and get to work. Lots of random thoughts! Thanks!
