It has been quite some time since I have posted an entry here. The update on the college front for me is that I changed my programs several times and finally settled upon Business Administration and Art for my two Associate degrees. I am 5 credits away from them both, 1 credit for Business Administration and 4 credits from the Art degree.

Again, returning to college after 37 years from one semester at SUNY Purchase in 1979 has been a real challenge. I can say that Wilkes Community College located in Wilkesboro, NC has been a wonderful place for me to learn. I was encouraged to apply for SAGE and was approved in May 2016. The support there from laptop and textbook loans, to tutoring sessions, to educational field trips, and much more, has been a lifeline for me to stay in school.

I am attempting to finish MAT-152 with a C, needed for a transfer program such as Art, is a must in order for me to earn my Associate degree. I have 18 days left and I hope to make inroads there. Of course, the Covid-19 epidemic has created challenges all of its own making. The college is still basically offering online classes and limited on-campus interactions in order to keep everyone as safe as possible.

My interest with writing began by composing poems about nature in my childhood. I also co-wrote a play in my 4th grade class when I lived in New Rochelle, NY. It generated enough positive feedback that my class put on the play in the school auditorium. I was fortunate to have a lead part. After my high school graduation, I entered the working world. For over 30 years I have been steadily gaining writing, editing and digital publishing skills. I began by composing letters and emails to company clients. I contributed to articles written for The Commuters Register based in Windsor, CT. Since 2009, I have added social media, digital publishing and blogging here in Wilkesboro, NC. Since 2010, I write ad copy for the listing descriptions for each of my 3 Internet shops open at Etsy.com. In 2012, I entered a poem about my dog Red in the World Poetry Contest.
