If we can make it work, anybody can.

Jenny

Jenny has a full-time job, a husband with a full-time job who’s
enrolled in Bethel Seminary, and 4 kids under the age of seven. But that didn’t stop her from going back to school. “I never thought I’d get a masters. But I was driving to work one day, and God really laid it on my heart to go back to school.” So, in the fall of 2007, Jenny enrolled in the Counseling Psychology program.

How is it possible to fit graduate school into an already-full schedule? “The professors are all very supportive,” she says. “And the evening classes make it possible for me to stay in school. I do my homework when the kids are in bed, and it’s worked really well.”

With plans to graduate in May of 2010, Jenny hopes to use her degree for family counseling. “We have just about as busy of a schedule as it gets,” she says. “And if we can make it work, I feel like anybody can.”
