New Chapter



May 6, 2011, I started a new chapter in my life by graduating with my Master of Arts degree in Sociology.  The guest speaker and honoree was former President William J. Clinton (Bill Clinton).  I had a mixture of feelings going on...happiness that I reached my goal and a bit of sadness and fear at the thought of starting something new.  However, I have hope that my career will take off and that I will be able to use all of the tools I have learned to help make a big difference in our society.  I just want to use this time to thank God, my family and the wonderful support system that I've had during this process.  I want to leave everyone with these thoughts...you can do anything that you set your mind to and you have to believe in yourself even if no one else does.  If you have goals and dreams~GO FOR IT!!!!  Have a blessed evening my friends!

  14. Contest.....My blog Amish Stories is having its first ever contest this week. The First prize winner will win 2 tickets to tour the farm where the 1985 move "Witness" staring Harrison Ford and Kelly Mcgillis was made in Strasburg,Pa . This farm is now Amish owned, and the family has given permission for folks to tour their farm. This may be the last time anyone will be able to walk and see the same things that Harrison Ford and the other actors saw during the making of "Witness". The Witness tour should last about 2.5 hours. In addition to the Witness farm tour tickets, 1st prize winner will also receive 2 tickets for Jacobs choice. There will also be a 2nd place prize, which will be 2 tickets for the Amish Homestead. Please go to My blog www.AmishStorys.com for contest details, and more information on the prizes. Richard from the Amish settlement of Lebanon county.
