Personal:
I am mother to 6 children, 13 grandchildren and some greats. I am married (oops maybe I should have said that first). I was very fortunate because I grew up knowing that I was loved. My father was a hard working family man and my mom was an angel. The most wonderful in the world. She made her living as a cook. I have two older brothers who thought I was a doormat. We have since come to terms.

Education:
Two years of college. I tried to work my way through, but back in those days (I held the staff while Moses parted the Red Sea) it was almost impossible to say the least. Women just didn't have the opportunities they have today.Thank God that has changed.

Writing:
I started showing interest in writing while I was in High School. I wrote a byline for our school paper and was the official obituary reporter. I also wrote articles for our yearbook.
I love to write. When I am writing I feel that I am releasing so many emotions I have within myself. I have seen so many changes in so many areas of life. I have so much to say. With the help of the Good Lord, I will write until He tells me to stop.

A student must want to learn. He or she must be willing to strive for knowledge. Then there must be a teacher who can transpose their knowledge of a subject to their students. Of importance is that the necessary materials are provided. Teaching is like trying to accomplish anything in life, the proper tools can and do determine the outcome of any task.
