Hi! I am a mother of 2 daughters and I have 2 grandchildren, 2 & 4 years old. My children and grandchildren are my world. I am married to a super great man that adores me and the kids too and would do anything for us and has always been that way. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and fish. I work full time. My position is very interesting. I serve through AmeriCorps at the Red Cross. I am a Volunteer Engagement Specialist and what that means is I get to interact with all the Volunteers that come in to the Red Cross. I do everything from speaking to them about different trainings available, teaching them 1st Aid/CPR/AED, to entering them into our computer system at the office, and much, much more.
It has been a very, very long time since I've been in school and it's been a really long time since I was in English Comp I so Comp II is going to be a little difficult for me, especially in the beginning. I want a college degree before I'm 50, which is a number that's right around the corner. There have only been a few members of my family that graduated High School and even fewer from college. I can only think of 2 so that makes me want this even more. I'm also hoping it shows other family members and my friends that it doesn't matter how long you've been out of school or how old you are a college degree is within reach.
Thanks for reading my blog and good luck this semester!
