Elizabeth Stapleton:  

Life I achieved my Master.of Library and Information Science in May, 2010. After teaching information literacy and computer skills for six years, I found myself disabled by several rare diseases. Nevertheless, I have persisted. I am now working on a Master of Public Health with a concentration in social and behavioral sciences. I want to work in health literacy, helping people by creating literature at their reading level, teaching about specific illnesses, and providing help reading health information. I am approaching.my Applied Practical Experience, and I hope to do it at a mental health organization. There are a plethora of them in Kent and Portage County, Ohio, where I live.

Keep in touch. Blessings, Liz :) School So you wanna know what I did in high school, eh? It was the best of times... Actually I had a lot of difficulty.

Come to think of it, I spent a lot of time at the Ossining Public Library... Let's see, there was also the volunteering at Phelps Memorial Hospital, and oh yeah, MARCHING BAND! My five years in band at OHS (starting in eighth grade) are what kept me at OHS. Otherwise my parents were pushing me to go to private school. Those of you who were my band friends -- thank you, y'all literally kept me from going insane. Since high school I've found out that grades aren't everything. In fact, tonight I counseled a student who is having difficulty studying for his final exams. My bit of wisdom: college is as much about learning your limits and the balancing act between social life, work, and various classes/subjects. Sometimes the best ...Expand for more
