Who am I, you may ask?

My name is Dorothy Sewing, and I'm from Carteret, NJ. I will be transferring to Franciscan University this fall to pursue a second BA. I am planning on majoring in Catechetics, and minoring in Franciscan Studies. I hope to become a high school religion teacher.

A little info about me: I am 34 years old (will be 35 by the time I get to Franciscan). I graduated from Mother Seton Regional High School in 1993. I hold two associate degrees from Middlesex County College: an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts, and an Associate of Applied Science in Education Practitioner. And I hold a BA from Rutgers University: with a Psychology major, and Music minor.

So why am I going for another BA if I already hold one? The answer's simple: I feel that God is calling me to study to become a religion teacher. Since I started at Rutgers, I knew I wanted to go into education. But I always had trouble trying to figure out just where in education to go. So after a few years, and after much prayerful consideration, I felt that God wanted me to go to Franciscan University to study catechetics. I wasn't sure, however, that I would get admitted...since I did fairly well at Middlesex, and mediocre at Rutgers. So I am so greatful that Franciscan wanted to give a chance. Now I just have to pray that I will be able to pay for it. I pray everyday that if it is God's will for me to go to Franciscan University, that He will help me find a way to pay for it. Nothing is impossible to God.

I am looking forward to starting at Franciscan University. I haven't seen the campus yet, but I already begun collecting Franciscan University stuff. I have a couple of tshirts, a couple of hoodies, a cap, ect. I'm looking forward to going there in June for University day. There I can see the campus, meet the faculty, and meet my future classmates. So I am really looking forward to that.

I will be using this blog to record my experiences while at Franciscan University. So I am happy that you could join me on this journey. It's going to be great!

God Bless! :-)
