Today I took a mock Latin Exam for my Canon Law Degree. I also received notification that I was awarded a small scholarship for my final year from the Canon Law Society of America. This is actually the first scholarship I have ever received in my entire academic history. This history brings up memories of my academic past. This past consists of a B.S. in Chemistry and Nursing from Long Island University-Brooklyn Campus (1971). A Masters in Anesthesia through the Army Nurse Anesthesia program (1975). A 1979 Master of Science in Sociology of Human Relations from Pacific Lutheran University. After a hiatus of 12 years The Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary granted me another Masters in Biblical Theology (1991). I took another break until recently. In 2010 St. Mary's University in Wisconsin gave me a Post Graduate Certificate in Canon Law which opened up the door to my most recent goal. Last year my present study led to a Masters in Law, Religion and Society (2012) from the Katholic Universitat- Leuven. With the intercession of the saints I will hopefully complete my study for the Iuris Canonici Licentiate.
All of this of course does not count the schooling and training I received on the Army's dime which I paid back in blood, sweat and tears.
So I can truly say that "I am a Master of all but a jack of no trades"
