Hi! I began college later in life, 37, graduted from the University of Central Florida in English, Summa Cum Laude, Sigma Tau Delta, did my graduate work at the University of South Florida, 3.97 GPA in Exceptional Education, and was hired during that period to replace my supervising instructor who had hit the "3 year magical limit" of what she could take and I then took over with what I saw I liked and what I didn't like. "Special people" are my favorite people, but after 8 years, it was time to move on to college teaching, which I did for a publishing edge about my wonderful experiences with these wonderful childern few years. By then I had a lot of material to publish about the elementary children, and as well so the wonderful adults and endearing adults. For me it is in all likelihood the most challenging, dynamic environment in the educational arena. I teach them, love them, and respect them. They are all winners in my eyes. I hope when you see them you will say "Hi!" with a smile.
