We like to think we had a lot to do with her character development as she grew
up. She's quite the remarkable woman that daughter of ours. She completes her
masters work in July, five years and two months after her bachelors. She is the
single mother of three teenagers, teaches Pre-K in public school, and teaches
Early Childhood Development on weekends at the local community college. Paid her
way through her bachelors and her masters with grants and student loans and paid
her student loans off in five years. Actually the feds forgave her student loans
after she taught five years in a very poor school district in Texas. She could
honestly go on to a higher paying district now but feels so much at home where
she is and so needed that she doesn't intend to leave. Her exact words to us
were, "I don't teach for the money." Truly, I don't think any public school
teacher teaches for the money but I understood what she meant. Anyway we are very
proud of her and always have been.
