I feel like I'm on the 25 year plan at MCC but realistically here is the story. I started out in commercial art there. Then one day I just couldn't sit there any more. I got up, walked out and withdrew from all of my classes. I just couldn't sit behind a desk anymore. I enrolled in the EMS classes immediately after and obtained my Associates degree and Paramedic License in 1995.

Then life took over.

I married Dennis in 1997, then our children were born a couple years later.

I stayed home with them through their elementary education and now I'm finishing what I started. I will graduate Nursing School in December 2014. My full intentions at one time were to become a flight nurse, but since I found out I can't fly without getting violently ill, that was removed off the list a long time ago. I don't think anyone should ever stop learning or reinventing themselves.

I loved Mrs. Hamlin's class. She had a very big influence on the person that I have become. The things she said to me and taught me, changed my life for the better. I can not imagine what kind of person I would be, had in not had such an amazing teacher.
