Mary's Story
Life
I've had a wonderful life so far & it's getting better. I'll graduate in December 2002 with AA. My Major is Journalism. It took me almost 40 years to realize I want to be an author; I am currently expanding a story about my dog & have a publisher interested in it. I am President of Psi Beta and Treasurer of Phi Theta Kappa. I am also on the President's Honor List of PHCC>Pasco-Hernando Community College. I've been a Security Guard for almost 10 years. Before that I sold Tupperware. In late 70's I owned a childrens' apparel shop in Marengo, Illinois. Two years ago I traveled to Germany with a friend.

I can't believe I waited till in 50's to go to college, but I love it and believe if I had gone after high school, I woldn't have been as successful as I am now. Sometimes I pinch myself to see if it's really true that I will get my AA in December. A tragedy happened June 21, 2002; my 17-year-old grandson, Devon, was killed in an auto accident. Please keep my family, especially my daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband in prayers. Thank you!
