M
y high school football coach always told us that society would accept us if we possessed one of three things: athleticism, money, and education. Not all of us are lucky enough to run like the wind, jump like a frog, or have the coordination to play competitive sports. You might believe hard work and perseverance will take care of the money thing, but as you age you might begin to realize that luck has more to do with that one. However, learning is something you can do for a lifetime. Many of us have finished our traditional schooling and are into careers that
keep us extremely busy. However, we might have a passion about doing something different or learning something new. Others are just starting out and need school to accomplish the goals they have set for themselves. Fortunately, we live in a city that has a University where we can pursue learning whether it is to attain employment or just for the fun of expanding our understanding of what interests us. As you read through this issue of the Gallup Journey, you are going to be introduced to a handful of the professors at the University of New Mexico-Gallup. Each will talk about their program and how they are involved in this community. Having UNM-Gallup is an incredible asset to the community, and many of us can benefit from the many programs it offers. So, take some time and read through the articles. Then visit the school online where you can learn more about the degrees and certificates it offers. Browse through the current classes being presented, and plan for the approaching semester. You can find classes that fit your schedule and begin that secret that Henry Ford alluded to - how to stay young.
