Today I opened up a copy of the letter of intent that I wrote for graduate school. I wrote this letter almost seven years ago, right after J and I got married. There are two specific goals that I mention in this letter which have fallen to the wayside over recent years:
"After receiving my Master’s Degree, I intend to further pursue this same study of Brazilian and European art at a doctorate level."
"One of my professional goals is to mount and run a gallery with my husband, an artist."
I don't think J and I have talked about our gallery idea for five or six years. In fact, I practically had forgotten about it. And although I still would like to get a PhD, I'm quite happy with the teaching opportunities (and the learning and growth that comes with those opportunities) right now. Perhaps both of these goals will still be realized in the future, or perhaps not. It was interesting for me to read this letter though, and consider how my professional and family goals have changed over the past several years.
