Going back to school...after 20+ yrs.

I'm terrified at the prospect of going back to school after so many years. I'm not even sure why I'm pursuing it. I want my music degree because I believe that is where my talent/gift/passion lies. I believe I've made a difference in the lives of many people, but mostly my own, with my voice...singing.

I feel that I'm supposed to do this because of that talent/gift/passion. I don't know if I'll do well at all. The academics scare me. I have to take a math course that involves a lot of algebra. I barely passed that in high school, what makes me think I'll be able to do it now? Oh! It's scary.

I believe that this is what I'm supposed to do, though. Everything has fallen into place. God has provided EVERYthing and there is no reason not to go ahead with it. No reason at all.

The acceptance is there.
The money is there.
The work study opportunity is there (and better than I thought it would be, frankly).

So, what's the problem?

I'm scared. I'm scared that I won't do a good job. That somehow, my talent/gift/passion is, or won't be enough. Maybe it isn't...but, then....maybe it is! There's only one way to find out.

...I'm going to start school at the University of Southern Maine School of Music September 4th, 2007.
