Informal introduction to class
I am originally from Kentucky. I began my college experience several years ago (in Kentucky), majored in Elementary Education, but I left just before my senior year. I got married, traveled with my husband for several years while he served in the U. S. Army, had two children (a daughter and a son), and finally settled in Knoxville, TN.
I have been working at Tennessee School for the Deaf for more than 20 years and several of my co-workers encouraged me to pursue my degree. Since earning a degree in education always seemed like unfinished business, I decided to go for it.
Due to my work schedule, nursing my husband through two serious illnesses, and other family obligations, I have been able to take only one or two classes each semester. I am persistent and I expect to receive my BS in Deaf Education in May 2011.
I am a returning student also. I started back part-time in 2008. Spring semester was the first full semester back. I glad to be here, but find it rather stressful. I have been very anxious about this course, but Jeff is so helpful I am starting to calm down. How old are your children? Are you a grandma yet? i have two grandsons 18 mos and 14 mos.

I can sympathize with your anxiety about this course. I am not at all familiar with Apple computers so suddenly everything feels "new" to me. I have moments when I feel a little more comfortable, but I am still quite anxious. I have 3 grandsons, ages 9, 11, and 13. Grandchildren are great! I guess I am truly a "senior" senior.
