Another class that is.
Simon turned in his final exam on Sunday for his second class in this long journey known as his Master's. He is currently pursuing a Mater's in Philanthropic Studies from Indiana University. Yes, for those of you paying attention we do live in Michigan so this is a bit of logistical challenge. He started this process in May with not much warning and the Bisson Team has been juggling everything trying to find a balance. He was away for a few weeks in the summer and spends most nights and weekends hunched over his laptop. Much to all of our confusion the classes last sooo much longer than typical classes. The class he just completed started in June and ended in November and is overlapping his fall classes. Crazy!! Right!!!
He always amazes me with his determination and drive and ability to balance everything. Not only did he start his Master's program in May but also participated in Leadership Michigan where he traveled all over the state with other business leaders 3 days a month learning about other business operations and networking with other business leaders. Also, then for his official job, traveled to Florida, California, Chicago, Montana, and Ohio meeting with donors. All the while pulling A's on his assignments and class grade!
On top of his other responsibilities he finds time to take Ruthie to a "Mommy and Me" gymnastic class even if he has to miss a work function because as he puts it.. "Nothing is more important than his family" and wake up with Lulu at 6am to have their special time together (although, thankfully she has been sleeping in since the time change).
While this whole process is going to be a 3 year process complete with an Iternship, we like to celebrate the little things along the way. The girls and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful Team Co-Captain as our leader and we couldn't be more proud.
Way To Go Team Bisson.

i am in awe of anyone who can juggle so much. i sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of work my grad program requires of me and then i think about people, like simon, who have so much else in their lives. it puts it all in better perspective. good for you simon! when do you expect to graduate?
