My Story - Short Version (114 words)


Look at me, what do you see?  Do you see a daughter, sister, a mother, a friend, a classmate, an ex-wife, a professional, or a neighbor? I am all this and more.  I’m a poet, a teacher, an accountant, a believer, a housekeeper, a chef, a time keeper, a mediator, an analyst, an optimist; and yes, even more. 

I closed the door on my education and my potential much too soon. College Unbound has awakened hope, creativity, confidence, and possibility.  This opportunity will make all that I am – better than I could have imagined.  It doesn’t really matter how I got there or how long it took; what matters is that I made it!
