Reflections and a New Life

Wow? What a journey it has been. This class and its experiences can be summed up in a recent experience I had with my wife. We were on vacation for our 5th wedding anniversary and during our drive my wife brought up an interesting story. Her friend's child had been attending a Lutheran middle school because of its small class sizes. As part of the school curriculum they have a small religious hour. During that hour apparently some very questionable and ignorant things were taught about other religions. Being of a separate  faith it made him uncomfortable. This is where the entrepreneurial seed was planted in my wife's brain. What if there was a religious school that afforded all the benefits of small class sizes and curriculum control but was operated under various religions and not just one. The school could provide a cultural, religious and educational experience for all the kids to benefit. We must have talked for over an hour and began to work out in our heads about how you could go about creating such a business/school. It was also interesting because I have never seen my wife so passionate about something and it clearly was something she believed in. That's the spark, that's the entrepreneurial spirit taking hold. Once we have that desire we can begin our journey and follow the many steps laid out in this course.
