The Education of a Diabetic and His Dad
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008So my son and I will graduate together. He will be graduating from high school and I’ll be graduating from graduate school. We stay up late doing homework together. We commiserate about teachers. We celebrate good grades together. And we console each other when a test or assignment doesn’t go so well.
But what my son doesn’t understand is how much his diabetes has to do with my schooling. It’s not like I’m in medical school or something. I’m not researching to try to find a cure for diabetes. In fact, I’m in business school. And I guess that’s appropriate because it’s the business of diabetes that drove me back to school. As the reality set in of just how much this disease costs and the length of time my son will need to be on my insurance, I realized that I must find a way to make more money.
My professors have explained that MBA students rank the highest in the “what’s in it for me” personality types. Truthfully, I don’t fit in great with that crowd. But as I sit in a classroom full of those who are openly aspiring to be CEO’s, I realize that though my motivations may be a little different, I too am driven to achieve a larger paycheck and the added responsibility that goes with it.
And I hope that along way toward my MBA, I just might build a stronger relationship with my son as we learn about life and what it will take to take care of his diabetes for a lifetime.
