School

   At my age, who would have thought I would be in school? I'm 51 with nine adult children and one grandson.  When I met my second husband, he convinced me to go after my dream.  Over a year and a half ago, I enrolled in Creative Writing for Entertainment.  At the end of 2014, I will have a Bachlor's of Fine Arts in writing.  YAY! I am almost done.  

   Why am I in school at my age?  Great question.  My baby sister died from a rare type of cancer when she was 11 years old.  All the treatments and surgeries she went through, she never complained once.  She was and still is today a positive influence in my life.  I look up to Heaven and we chat.  She still tells me I can do anything I set my mind to.  So, as my way to honor her, I want to write her life story.  She's been gone nearly 26 years.  I still miss her greatly.  I love you, Mindy Jo!

   I have always enjoyed writing.  I have kept journals since grade school.  Raising five children and spending time with my gandson, has inspired me to write children's books.  

Have a great day! 8)
