Mount Saint Mary College - 1984
A midlife challenge offered me its hand- with careful thought, I took the challenge up. This choice I made- some could not understand why this endeavor would help fill my cup. The cup of knowledge I was meant to fill- to gather facts of which I never knew. To read great books and write with added skill- breathe deep the satisfaction as I do. Began my part-time college-going days- a steadfast choice I never will forget. My journey took six years, and in all ways a firm decision I would not regret. Each day on campus, in another world, my mind consumed sweet knowledge like fine wine. A deeper way of thinking soon unfurled; fulfillment and accomplishment- were mine. Summa cum laude- my graduation day! My father, husband, children, family stood proud to honor this in every way; to praise my choice- be overjoyed for me.
