5-year plan

What I hope to accomplish in 5 years:

1. Add one more child to our family through Adoption.

2. Finish my B.Ed.

3. Hopefully be finished with either an M.Ed. or an M.Phil.

4. Atleast start laying a foundation for a PhD in Education.

5. Be able to drive a car wherever I want in India.

6. Own a car.

7. Continue my career as a teacher after a 3 plus year gap.

8. Start some kind of a small-scale business (this is Samir's dream). I already have some ideas as to what we could do.

9. Start an organization where something tangible is being done to serve the poor: either by educating them, giving them vocational/computer training.

10.Be involved in church-based ministries that especially advocate nurturing and training new believers.

11. Incorporate a natural lifestyle- eating healthier, eating organically, and slowly getting rid of store-bought products.

This may seem like a surreal list but I do hope to accomplish these things. I aim to to be a self-sufficient woman who is healthy, who is doing her part in taking care of the environment, who is doing something to alleviate poverty and who is actively involved in nurturing new believers.
