Charles's Story
Life
Well its been an interesting 20 years since i graduated from Stevenson high. I am currently back in school to receive another degree a BFA in illustration. I already have a degree in architecture.
I have been working for an architectural firm in the nothern suburbs of chicago since 1990 and 3 years ago decided to go back to school to pursue a second career. Ive always wanted to illustrate childrens books and decided to go for it. Ive had to take time off from work in order to do this as i am going to school fulltime but i work on my down times in chicago for them. Its been odd being in classes with students half my age but believe it or not i have made some really great friends in the process.
Im not the only older student as i have found out and i am truly enjoying doing thi...Expand for more
s. Im in Sarasota Florida attending Ringling School of Art and Design a private (and expensive) school. It has a great reputation and is hard to get into but i applied and made it so here i am. I will graduate in may 2006 and me and my new friends are planning to go on a cruise to celebrate are accomplishment.
On the plus side i have met another older student and she is wonderful. Last place i expected to meet someone. I figured id be here to do my thing and move on. Its been quite the opposite. Where i will go after here i have no clue at the moment but i am enjoying the college lifestyle again. Only difference this time i am of legal age to drink.
Life has taken an interesting turn for me and definitly is an adventure at the moment, like a rollercoaster but i am enjoying the ride.
