Michelle's Story
Hi Everyone!
It may surprise you to hear that I am a college professor. I started teaching full-time in 1984, and it's something that I just love! This year, my entire teaching load is Internet-based, and so I get to teach students from all over the country.
I'm also the mom to a terrific kid (born in 1994). I'm such an "old" mom compared with the parents of my kid's classmates, and it was a riot to see me keep up with all the running around we do during school activities and such. But, I managed to hang in there and my kid never know the difference anyway!
I've really enjoyed reading others' bios on this site, and I hope everyone eventually brings us up to speed on their lives. P.S. Carla (LaGrassa) Diriwachter and I are still good friends :-)
I started out at Our Lady of Lourdes elementary school and switched to Hendy Avenue elementary school in 5th grade. My favorite subjects were English and History. Being in the EFA concert choir was also the best!!

ng to school at Alfred State College, and I guess I proved it because I'm now a professor there. I also attended Daemen College in Buffalo, N.Y. and I still am good friends with several of my classmates.
I love teaching, and I've known since the 6th grade that this is what I wanted to do. I just didn't know it would be at a college. Alfred State is a wonderful place to work, and the students are just terrific. I used to teach exclusively on-campus in a classroom setting and my students were the typical 18-21 age group. Since 2000, I've taught entirely online, and their age group is mid-40's. They are smart, motivated, and really make me think. I also started writing textbooks in the late 1990's, achieving another goal of becoming an author. Although I had always thought I would be a murder mystery writer, textbook authoring is another great fit for me. (But, I think I have at least one murder mystery in me. I may try my hand at that after I retire from teaching someday.)
