Attention Missouri Western, we are in the home stretch. These semesters can wear on some of us, but the horizon is in sight. Whether you are cheering or cramming, I think everyone is looking forward to a time where no deadlines need to be met. To those of you that have survived this year, I commend you. Many of us college students have things outside school as well that add to the burden we have to deal with. Families, jobs, volunteer activities, and regular chores are things that everyone has to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Personally, I think that the mothers that are pursuing an education are incredible. In the majority of cases, I’ve seen them working, raising kids and doing their school work. My own mother went to college, but never received anything higher than an associates in general education. I love her to death, and I have seen the amount of work she does to keep the family running smoothly. If I take that and apply what work she does for the family, and then add on work and college, let’s just say that many of us guys out there would go insane in a week’s time. So, for those of you that still live near or under your mother’s wing, do something nice for her. Make her breakfast or handle some of the chores for her this week because she did a lot to get herself and you here.
