End of Fall Semester 2009

Wow, what a journey through this 1st semester returning back to college. I can't imagine having attempted this journey as a full-time or even part-time employee. Employment and full-time college places the student at a serious studying disadvantage. I have been in the presence of so many working students that suffered throughout the semester. Parents, I realize that you want your children to be self-sufficient, but college is not the time for such a training program. Take it from someone that endured the high school to college transition back in the late 70's, then returned to college as a happy grandmother.

My granddaughters are Gabrielle (4 years) and Alexis (5 months old), and they help fuel my inspiration for pushing through this return to college. My daughter, Thalassia Harris is their mother so if you hear me refer to my girls it includes all three. Below is a picture of my granddaughters.


Final grades are posted and I am happy to announce that I earned two A's, two B's and a C the Fall 2009. My goal was to earn a 4.0 GPA, but for a first semester a 3.45 GPA is not bad. I found out that C-class did not count against my GPA when final grades posted. Sweet...

My birthday is Saturday, and I become 50 years old. Happy Birthday to me.
