I've had a lot of things be like that. The most disappointing one was my associate degree. It was hyped up to get me a job and make me a fortune but turned out to be basically worthless. The accreditation was screwy and most colleges won't accept it. I was disappointed. I learned a lot at the college and it set the pattern for my RBA. I was fortunate enough to find a college initially that had been affiliated with them and thus accepted most of the credits. I was then able to obtain my RBA and am now working toward my master's degree. In fact I am suppose to mail off the rest of my application package to the school today. I spoke with the dean of the Social Work Program about a month ago and gave her a run down of my qualifications. She said many of my qualifications would put me right at the top of the selection list so essentially the application process is a formality. I will be attending Marshall University again next fall. This time I will be a graduate student. I have a strong love for the helping professions as can be exemplified by the fact that I work every day as a volunteer in a helping position. I am the Community Care Ministries Secretary for the Salvation Army which is a fancy way of saying "community chaplain". I do nursing home and prison ministry in the community but I also directly serve homeless individuals, addicts, and socially disadvantaged people in the Huntington Corps Social Services Office. I love social work and everything to do with it and no I do not believe I committed suicide in a former life.
I also love history and may apply to become a history major in graduate school as well. I haven't decided yet because it requires a separate application and fee. I did excellent in all of my undergraduate history classes however and that was my undergraduate minor. I also minored in Liberal Studies.

Blog City image small Prompt: "What contests on WDC appeal to you? Do you believe contests would get more people involved if our blogging group held contests?"

I was involved in the Writer's Cramp for a while but it began to feel like a popularity contest more than a writing challenge. The same people won every day. Then I started breaking it up a little bit. I usually just go to the contests page and see what's on it.
As far as holding a contest on Blog City, I have wanted a "Blogger of the week" contest for a long time. I believe it would attract a few more bloggers. I try to be faithful but sometimes my schedule interferes. Anyway I think a contest would be just the ticket. I would participate like I do with BCoF. I would certainly encourage you to start a weekly contest on Blog City. I would try to participate as much as my schedule would allow. When I am working I have a lot of idle time as our clients come in spurts. We're either extremely busy or doing nothing. During the down times I am usually on WDC and that is often when I do my blog. Usually mornings are my best time. Some mornings I grab an extra hour of sleep, but I usually always have time to blog at some point during the day unless I am completely buried with work. Yes, I encourage you to start a contest and count on me to be a participant.
