I didn't spend very much time working on my Master's degree at Pittsburg State University (PSU), but when all the hours were completed, I walked across a stage to receive my diploma for education. I have to admit, the classes for my Master's were (for the most part) enjoyable.
When I was informed that I had been selected to be the Missouri History Teacher of the Year, the news hit the local paper. PSU posted a quip about it on their alumni page for Facebook, and I received a couple of cards in the mail from people there. The message on the left is from my Master's-level psychology professor. The words on the right are from the Director of Development for the College of Education.
