: About Me

Hello, my name is Cathy and I am just beginning college at 50 years old. I have one husband three dogs and a Mother who lives with me in our 19th century farm house. Together we make quite a happy family. I love art and gospel music and try to give as much attention as I can to each respectively. Although I don't have as much time to practice my music as I would like since I started school. I have an english teacher who is encourageing me to write so here I am on Helium. I have submitted two funny essays and I hope someone will enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
My life has been varied and I have done some unusual things. That is to say I have sort of pioneered the way for other young women who might want to work in predominately male fields. I may not have made many friends but I did achieve success, because I earned respect from my co-workers. I am now ready to try something a little different. Scaling the walls of academia will not be easy but it will all be worth it in the end. I hope to make my Mother very proud.

Freedom In a moment when my mind was clouded, Heady with the nectar of freedom, I cast aside my innocence. My jewel, Given into the hand of one To whom in days gone by I shall remain nameless, faceless. When the true prince of my life Comes seeking his treasure I shall morn.
