So I began searching for an educational venue that would take me on this journey and give me more contexts for the world I experience on a daily basis through work and home life.';

var text1 = 'At the age of 34 I had two directions to head in when it came to my academic career -  simply finish my teaching credential and remain as such for thirty years or pursue a higher level of education which could open more windows of opportunity. I had encouraged the seniors I taught to do as much, and it seemed very appropriate to look deep with in myself and find I was not finished with as far as I could go when it came to my professional goals.';

var text2 = 'Over the years, I acquired an intense interest in the international arena. As a self-employed, knowledge management consultant, whose largest client was a transnational corporation, I found myself intrigued by it. As the author of an international business-economic newsletter, I found myself in awe of it. I didn\'t believe, however, as a former Computer Science and Biology major, that I was sufficiently versed in it.';

Diplomacy and International Relations students bring a lot to the table in terms of experience in Washington, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, and just about anywhere else military are deployed and foreign service personnel work.';

Prior to that I had been aware of Norwich\'s excellent reputation as a premiere "brick and mortar"  military college, but I had not known about its innovative online graduate programs. The first thing that struck me upon being hired as an instructor in the Diplomacy program was the quality of the program\'s curriculum.';
