Congratulations! I got two B.S. degree by age 21 but I got my MBA at age 56. My income doubled as a result but I decided to keep going all the while working and I’m finally getting my doctorate at age 61! You are never too old to stop learning!
Amanda- Congratulations on getting your teaching degree. My daughter is a STEM Lab teacher for 6,7,8 grades and loves it she got her 12 year pin from her school and I got to pin it on her lanyard. I’m proud of her and very proud of you going for your dreams and God will direct u every sit of the way. ❤❤❤❤❤
YEA for you ! I went back to school 6 years ago for my second bachelor's I was 57. I left due to health issues so I may not return but it was a great time. Good for you !
Congratulations, Amanda! Teaching is the greatest joy there is, according to me. :) I worked in Childcare for 30 years. I know Rick was so proud of you. Great job!
YAAAYYY!!! Congrats 🥳🥳🥳. You truly are an inspiration! I was just talking to my husband about going back to school after having taken a break from having all of our children (back2back) 12+ yrs ago. We're so proud of you! ❤❤❤
Congratulations 🎊🎉 I am watching your videos for 7 years now and I am so proud of your achievements! So inspiring. I am 40 and got my bachelor with 25, now sometimes I think about getting also masters, but feel too old, still I learn new things doing a lot of courses for my job in informatics. PhD, wow. I would be the first in my family to have one, not even allowing me to dream about it 🙈 but you make it sound like “sure, why not”. Thank you for that and sharing your moments with us! 🎊❤️ I also really like it, that you have great plans now and see that many possibilities in life. Inspiring ❤️
Of course, you should do it! Why not? Be the first! You have so much life left to live and so much experience that will help you to use your graduate studies well. Go for it!
Lol I just post similar thing. I'm 47 and got my Bachelors at 25, but ended up as a housewife. I'm st the VA hospital now as a scheduler, but I'm considering going back to school for a Masters in social work so I can switch to the social work dept at the VA. ❤ WE CAN DO THIS!
@@TheBealles In the morning with you> I was watching your video and was like "Wait a minute!" I jumped up and looked in the program and there you are!! That is so wonderful.
Summa cum laude!!! You go girl!!! Congratulations! You should be very pleased with your accomplishment. I’m so glad Rick insisted on you walking. Thanks, Rick, for videotaping it all, too! So sweet that Mo made it too! 💖
Amanda I had to come on here and congratulate u! I'm 41 and going thru so much but I just signed up to finish mine after dropping our years ago to have my son who just turned 18. I want to say u inspire me 😊
Congratulations Amandita preciosa!!! You qre something else, !!!! an inspiration and example for your children and all of us!! I am so very happy for you, Rick is so lucky to have such an amazing wife. All my love to you from Chile. ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! What an accomplishment. When I was in college in the ‘80s there were quite a few older students there, and those were just the business students. It’s not unusual.
Congrats Amanda! I hope we get to hear more of your thoughts on education. Public school wasn't right for our autistic son, so we now homeschool him according to how he learns best.
I love the idea of a micro school! I’m a mom to two little ones (2nd grade/preschooler). I’ve always wanted to homeschool, but right now they are in private school while I finish my degree as well. I am not a fan of public or private school really. I think a homeschool inspired micro school would be amazing!! Congrats!
Congrats! I feel so proud of you. Like a weird internet parent even though we are around the same age. 😂 We need good godly people in the classroom. Must feel amazing to complete that goal.❤️
Haha Rick being Rick!! Haha 🤣 I’m so proud of my Internet mom!! ❤ when I have kids I know where I’m sending them! So happy Marquis showed up! We must have all gotten our invitations, lost in the mail. 😂
I’m in my 2nd year of community college at the age of 36 years old. I started majoring in Business Administration, but after some reflection and taking a PT at my son’s school, I felt the urge to change my major to ECE. I still have 2 semesters left at the CC before I can transfer, but I’m going to do it! 🎉
Aww! I can’t believe he found you. That’s hard to do. When my hubby graduated military training, they were all in the same outfit and I almost went nuts trying to find him. 😆And I’m the same way..always at the back and on the end😆
Congrattulations to both of you!❤ I remember i. your very old videos you wanted to become a farmsteader and raise animals and can veggies and I couldn’t help thinkng “Naaah, that’s not them”, I’m glad you found something else and that you’re really passionate about it. Are you going to teach in a public school, Amanda? The education system in the States doesn’t seem very aligned with your faith.
I still love the homestead life 😂 I’m just not that good at it. Still, Inwant to incorporate some of the homestead skills in my school. I will probably work for the school system for a time, but not likely permanently. I would like my own school based on my values
@@TheBealles I was thinking more of Rick when I thought a homestead wasn’t for you, he seems like a person who likes things clean and tidy and a farm is not exactly that.☺️ I wish and hope for you to find a position at a decent school, I was a teacher for a very short time, less than 3 years , I couldn’t deal with our rigid and non-formativw school system. I wish we had homeschooling/private schools, I did like teaching kiddies.
@@minime7375 Rick grew up on a farm, and he remembers all the work😂 And dirt! I am hoping to incorporate some homeschool aspects into my classroom. I hope I find a good fit, too. It’s something I am definitely praying about!
Birth to Kindergarten is essentially Early Childhood in NC. I can teach Pre-K and Kindergarten with my license, and I can take additional classes to be licensed up through 6th grade

It’s at the end of the video. Next step… Masters

Thank you 😊
I keep missing it when you say it, but did you get a k through third grade degree?
Birth to Kindergarten is essentially Early Childhood in NC. I can teach Pre-K and Kindergarten with my license, and I can take additional classes to be licensed up through 6th grade
I'm almost 43 and still only have my associates
There’s still time 😊
Maybe you could start your own One Room Red Schoolhouse.
Probably wouldn’t be red😂 But a school for sure
Masters degree too?
If I have my way, by next year 😉
Congratulations!!
Thank you 😊
Congratulations Amanda!!

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
