About

I am a mother of three and step mother of 5. After having children very early, I did not finish high school and thought college would be too expensive. At the age of 27 I decided to attend college. It has been a lot of hard work over the years, but I will see my dream of becoming a history professor realized. I have always loved history, and love to teach it, and it is my dream to share this with other adults. I have had a lot of setbacks: accidents, deaths, divorce, and more, but I just keep going, and enjoy it so much. I think going back to school as an adult really makes you appreciate it more, and I appreciate it so much.
