Why Did I Do It?

Two reasons really- my children are older, and I needed to do something productive with my English degree. During the early years of my children's lives, I worked part time and from home so I could be a mommy and still contribute to our finances.

I worked as a Box Office Manager at the local community theater, I worked for a nationally recognized academic survey research institution, and I toured as an actress in Storybook Theater Company in DeLand. I spent time in and around schools, and dealing with academic related issues. I also had been an adjunct instructor at the local community college in my early years of marriage, and teaching has usually come naturally to me.

In 2007, the time had come for me to contribute more fully to our household resources by leaving the house. Teaching allowed me to also have the same schedule during the year as the rest of my family.
