By the time I was in my late 30s, life had taken me down a path which led to single parenthood, four kids to raise and no college education. Good fortune smiled upon me one day, however, when I landed a clerical job at a local university. The salary was modest, but it was secure, and now I knew that I would be able to consistently provide the roof over our heads and the food on our table. As a university employee, I would also be able to enroll in college courses at the unheard of price of $13 a semester! So, after providing my high school transcripts dug from the ancient archives, I was admitted to the university and began the long and winding road toward a bachelor’s degree.
