Decisions are hard for me, and where to go to grad school for social work seems to be one of the harder decisions I've had to make. The thing is: I have three really good options, so choosing one really good option means saying goodbye to two other really good options.
I thank God I was recently accepted to Columbia University in NYC and University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I haven't been accepted to UT Arlington, but they automatically accept you if turn in all parts of the application and meet all requirements (which I do).
As of April 2011, Dallas Texas feels like home to me. I feel pulled back there and want to put roots down and want to do social work and mission work there. I know this could change, but this is what I feel right now. So, do I go straight back and restart life there and go to UTA? Or do I postpone life in Dallas for another year and go to school out of state?
So many factors: cost, quality of education, proximity to friends and family, fear, pride, and on and on.
Dear Lord, help me sift through these layers, and give me wisdom in this decision.
P.S. I think I've ruled out University of Tennessee. And I start to miss what was never mine - golden leaves and rocky tops and big football games and boys in flannel.

I'll be praying for your decision. You've definitely got a lot to consider, but in the end, a year is only a year, and you'll have your MSW at the end of it, no matter where you choose. Also, I'm really glad that you've found a home :)
